Ruth Ruth: You're so right! Thanks for pointing that out.

I appreciate your point. Grace is something that we've been given plenty of. I have unending patience for people who do not agree with me (I used to supervise over 150, mostly young adults who seldom agreed with my opinions).
My own daughter is way more liberal than I would have liked her to be, but I respect her opinions and her feelings.
I've taught her to feel free in expressing her feelings, but at the same time, we've talked endlessly about accepting the input of others as well.
My only problem with these past few threads has been the lack of willingness by some to be really liberal and accept the fact that not everyone sees the world like they do.
The attempts to control the board members, the attempts to sabatoge a great source of information and debate and the attempts to censor those of opposite opinion is not easy to overlook, regardless of ones health.
Again, thanks for the reminder about grace, it only has one true source.

Mr. Dad: I totally get where you are coming from (I think, uh, I hope, er, well, maybe anyway) ... And I agree that there was some illogic being used to try to shut down the discussion by basically "name calling" and maybe some exageration, etc.
I didn't really validate you guys on those points because, well, the people doing it may be simply "under the influence" and not really comprehending the whole scene going on. You know, giving them the benefit of the doubt?
Well, here's to the best we can do with what we've got anyway!

I've been out of the loop for awhile and I just came across this post and I'm in awe! And I can say that because I do suffer from Lymes. I read the start of this mess and I didn't read or believe anything that was "racist" in the main post. I read about people expressing opinions about what they felt about issues and certain topics. Me and these topics I keep to myself, because I have found out everybody have there own versions and views on how they see things and people end up saying things that hurt other people and it turns into a W.W. III. This site was created to help the Sick with Lymes, Support the Sick when Nobody else Would, Will, or Can, This Site is NOT for the POLITICTS to ARGUE about who is RIGHT OR WRONG! If you want to Argue or have Debate's watch the news because as the Preseidental Elections gets closer that's all we will see on T.V.!! Don't Ruin this Support Line for the ones who need it, This Line of Support for some is all some of us has, don't take that away! Don't turn this into a Debate Class for the ones who need to Cry, Talk, Vent, and just say Hi to, We are the ones that depend on this site day in and day out. This is our life line to our sanity! Don't take this away from us with your Politics! You are welcome to share your opinions and views, but respect each others rights and opinions, don't disrespect to a point where hatered comes in and ruins the only family that some of us has. But, than again this is only my opinion!
