I am sorry if anyone took offense at the suggestion that we hold off on the political posts yesterday, but it was never intended to be arrogant. In fact if I had known it would upset people to the point that it did, I probably would not have posted it.
My only intention was to observe 9/11 in light of what unites, not divides us, and it seems that political posts too often bring out some very negative responses and reactions.
I have the utmost respect for anyone interested enough to want to discuss the real issues in an election, regardless of stance. You will notice that I rarely post in the political forum (although I have posted on economic and financial issues, my real interest!).
The divisiveness I have seen in this particular election saddens me, and it was my feeling that any posts that might possibly be construed as partisan be held off for 24 hours. On Wednesday evening, a few people had suggested that, and since no one posted an objection I, too, felt it was a good idea. Live and learn.
But as was well stated by another poster, this is America, and we are all entitled to freedom of speech.
Have a good day TOTVers!
