Thank you for the Valentine Hearts!
So many nice people here!
I have been a member here since 2012, but a regular poster only in the last couple of weeks. I posted infrequently before that. I was a regular on another progressive forum but was put in their equivalent of "Twitmo" for suggesting in a discussion of the police officers who pepper sprayed the 9 year old girl in the eyes that perhaps they needed a taste of their own medicine. I was told this was "advocating violence against police" (I don't think it was, but I do think they wouldn't be so free with it if they got sprayed while in training) and my account was locked down. I was not given a chance to defend myself; I found there is no chance there. I won't be going back even if they do unlock my account. I like it much better here.
