Disagreed with by saying how you disagree with me is one thing. Seems on this forum, in whatever area you go, you better march with those who pat themselves on the back as such wonderful people, or you will be dismissed curtly.

In one evening I was called intolerant with no indication of any reason except for disagreeing with someones position, which I did with information, and as "non thinking" because I asked a question on a forum that I felt might offer me some experience, I find TOTV, again despite so many accolades that are given to people on here by people on here, not to be a very friendly place.

Rags, try not to be hurt. I have been badly hurt on this forum. It is the problem with anonymity. People can say anything without being stopped. There are those who post who are the direct opposite of all we hold dear. Those who will say purple if you say pink and black if you say white. I was trying to keep the peace yesterday when I was typing my little lecture on intolerance. You have a right to your views and many of us agree with them.

Nice people like you should just be glad you don't have to LIVE with people who are cold and cruel and argumentative all of the time it seems.
