/doffing me cap.That's a sweet story. I think it deserves a positive rep fest around here...
You are one of the sweetest posters I've met in a long time. You deserve a pos rep yourself. I'd give you one now, but I have to spread some around first.
Oh, there are many, many sweeties around USMB. All you have to do is wait around at the Introductory Thread, and it's like the Statue of Liberty, "Bring me your tired, your poor, the downcast..." Oh, I can't even remember the words right any more. Anyway, they come from a lot of boards where they're beaten beyond recognition, banned for merely disagreeing with the mod's galpal, and need a respite, and sometimes, just a little nudge to encourage them to stay and recuperate. Of course, some wind up at the fiery furnace, what is the Romper Room or some such? lol!
I will tell you, though. Once on a new forum a few years back, I was banned my first day for permanent. They said they had compatible political leanings to my own in their foreword, but actually, that was just a cover for their true Nazi natures (completely with Fuhrer momentos). I didn't last more than 4 posts. They hated whites who defend minorities more than they cared for the virtues of acceptance and tolerance of other people. I'm here to tell you the true story: it didn't hurt.
USMB lives up to its precepts. And there are some totally good folks on both sides of the aisle. If any board could restore the nation to a sense of mutual American caring, this'd be it. Most of the time.
/dervish grin
At least this board tolerates free speech...
I used to post on a board called USpoliticsonline.com and I was continually warned and finally banned for asking progressives questions.... Reason? "baiting."
I thought debate was the purpose of political boards?
Every time I asked a question that had no clear cut logical answer I got a warning for baiting.
Now what does this have to do with the OP? no idea....
