Default I'm the one whose car was vandalized

When I posted the event about our car, it was just a statement about what happened. We found it slightly amusing that someone felt the need to remove what did not belong to them. From some of the responses to this thread, I am a bit disturbed that someone would think that I was "stirring up trouble" just because we were new. I agree with the beginning thread that sometimes a person's viewpoint is marginalized. We can disagree but hopefully with respect. I no longer bother to look at any of the political "discussions" because they are filled with personal attacks.

I agree with some of you that at times we say things because it is not face to face. Gracie Girl inviting us to her home,helped us realize that these are real humans with feelings, and individual life experiences.
