no right to respect. I suspect I will be banned eventually. Keep winnowing the voices and show the world what you are. I am a leftie and that is anathema here now. I am a long time FDR dem but that also is the enemy. WTF? I miss you, Manny. You are a good soul and this place is smaller because you are gone. Ban me.

I responded to a thread once from my phone that does not list the group names where they originate. I tried to figure it out and I couldn't find it. I said I would always speak out when I didn't agree especially when the facts were contrary to the opinion posted. It was unfortunately the HRC group which I found out when they banned me. I don't care. I don't read or post there usually but the title of the group wouldn't show on my phone.

too bad. I would hate to be so afraid that someone elses words made me want to cast them out. That doesn't sound like strength to me.
