Thanks Kinky, I feel so "loved". I think some of the posts were started in "fun" but fun can get hateful. I have been ( and continue to be- as far as I know) on friendly terms with some of the "big 4 " and other conservatives here. I have mostly conservative friends in the real world - after all I do live in Texas. Though some conservatives consider me a "liberal" most liberals do not. So I think it is safe to say I fall somewhere between - I hold many liberal and conservative values. I hope a decent balance. Some of the posts here just don't ring true. Though those same ones were usually very entertaining.
