I have pondered leaving many times in the last two years, but you know what?
What the hell, it's an internet board. I don't have to bash anyone over the head with my point of view, and no one who tries to bash me over the head with theirs gets taken very seriously, at least not by me. People have put me on ignore. I don't give a flying duck. I haven't put anyone on ignore. I just ignore them if they post something I find offensive or stupid. All posts vanish in the haze sooner or later anyway. Yours, mine, everyone's. Sure, you call Obama something nasty, it gets remembered, but only because YOU are remembered. I can call him anything I want and no one will remember that two hours later.
And here's a verse from a song almost no one has heard:
"Live, let live,
"That's my advice
"And if you've got a question
"Ask me nice."
(from "I Just Got Here" by John Hammond, Jr.)
You really checkin' out permanently? Come on. Even most of the Hillary crowd wouldn't want that (dunno for sure, but I'd bet money on it).
If you gotta check out, check out temporarily. Check in periodically. Then check back in. Por favor. We'll save your seat.
