It isn't me, blame someone else. He/she is prolific though. I
stopped posting political stuff for our truce and have kept my word.
I always thought jps was HK but will give him/her the benefit of
doubt. If y'all will look back at Toots first posts, you will see
that I tried to discourage him/her due to said truce.

Frogwatch

Hey, a couple of us are discussing philosophy in another thread and we
haven't come to blows yet. I think boating is a philosophy. I was never
much
of a power boater.. don't see the attraction.. if I want to go fast, I
take
a plane. Sailing on the other hand, seems very zen-like.

Ms Plume has been a cogent poster here and I enjoyed our exchanges,
even if we don't agree on a lot of things but I think I am joining the
"trusers" myself. When discussions simply become insults I don't want
to participate anymore.


Thanks! Agreement is over-rated anyway. It doesn't add much to
understanding if all you have is a bunch of people nodding their heads in
agreement. When I'm with my close friends, we argue all the time about
politics and religion. A couple of them are Born-againers and we can have
a lively discussion without screeching.

I'm afraid you won't see that happening here, Sweetie. There's some folk
here that are programmed to holler racist, bigot, moron, and insult family
members at every opportunity. It's usually in response to someone
expressing an opinion on politics or religeon.
You never answered John about why you get so aroused over talking with a
bunch of nasty old men about religion and politics. Don't you have
anything better to do?


Pot, kettle, black. Looks like you're outnumbered by reasonable people Jimmy
Bob.
