"Does anyone here even know what I'm talking about? "

Lindy — 3/9/2009 10:56:57 AM (archived)

>"Maybe I'm overly sensitive about these matters. Perhaps for most of the people here this kind of debate is a way to blow off a little harmless steam, ...played strictly for laughs. But I don't see it that way, it bothers me deeply to have to do this...Rightly or wrongly, I feel I am being forced to participate. Sometimes I get so upset I just run away, but that doesn't seem to moderate the contest, it goes on and on... and eventually my outrage drives me back. "

Very well said. I agree totally. To walk away is not an option. Cooling off periods are acceptable though. I find I don't "dread" it now, I've found my voice. And I know I exactly how I feel, because I've had to hone those feelings and be able to express them. It's nice to know I'm different.

And I'm glad to see you back, not only because of your political opiLindynions, but you have a sharp eye and expression for the other 101 things we talk about over here.
