Advice please!

I am having a problem with some people on the site. Is it just me, I don't know. I wasn't aware that I am not allowed to vote democrat and feel a certain way about abortion. Its not like I am totally pro birth. I just don't believe in it after viability. This is the only thing that I differ on with a lot of people. The problem I am having is that I am getting called a re-pube-blican! I can't stand it. About ready to leave the site. Any advice?

You might want to stay clear of the abortion issue for some time. If you start with the part that you disagree on people here will think you are a troll. Go gently my friend. Stay clear of the abortion issue.

and I suspect that California Peggy will definitely provide some good insights. That said, one needs to remember that pretty much everything posted here is an opinion, they are neither better or worse than your opinions just other points of view. You and I most likely disagree on the abortion issue, however I respect your point of view and you have every right to it, just as I have a right to my way of thinking. You will sometimes simply have to agree to disagree with other posters, you will find the ignore feature can be your friend, trashing a thread is often good for the blood pressure and the various groups offer good diversions (I suggest the photo group myself). Lastly I find that getting up and leaving the DU world to fend for itself for a time is often good therapy.

You really can't take this stuff too seriously...
