Thank you Red,

You said things well.

At the end of January, I entered into a discussion here on the topic of healthcare. We are all affected by that issue, no matter what our politics, no matter if we have insurance or not. The discussion actually went along pretty well. Nobody got hateful at all, and it seemed like there was genuine concern and interest. Everyone was not on exactly the same page, but that's what makes a discussion. It did not last too long, but it really was OK.

But lately I have seen some "discussions" where I peek in and then just leave. It's not worth getting into.

I come to TOTV to learn and to have some fun. Overall, I really like the ambiance here. If I come upon those here who seem to be trying to make themselves feel better by making others feel worse, I move on. - just like I do in real life.
