(3,447 posts)...but experience has shown me that my threads get little to no attention. And I guess I'm alright with that; I do what little I can. If all I accomplish is making someone slow down for just a second and make sure facts are facts, I've done more good than I could have hoped. And that's my only stake in this entire political arena -- to do some good.
But the main reason I drop one last post in here is to address the 'upthread' part. I did indeed say that I would have felt more comfortable if it had been slower, more of a 'run its course' thing. But I wasn't saying that in the context of 'because I agree with them' or 'because its about them', but in the context of 'the speed of it is what set off my large-scale shaming monitor', whereas the slower variant wouldn't have really drawn any comment at all from me because it wouldn't have hit one of my Hot Topic Buttons. I apologize if that wasn't made clear -- I do often admit to being overly wordy at times and it seems that makes some of my posts harder to read the way I intend them to.
As you rightly say, peace.
