I've noticed your name in many threads as being one who usually is NOT cursing, insulting, berating, etc, either the subject of the OP or other posters in the thread. Even if they may disagree with you. Around here, its a breath of fresh air. Its odd that on DU many of those who would scream "Tolerance!" at the top of their lungs seem to have very little of it.
A good Saturday to you, Rebellious!
