at any rate, altho things get a bit ugly in here at times, at the end of the day it's still generally a fun place to visit.
there may be times that feelings get a bit hurt, something rubs the wrong way, but in a crowd this diverse, we're not all going to agree 100%, regardless of the issue.

Elegantly written and communicated Bravo Deb....
I wasn't present in the beginning but since 2005-6 DT has been my neighborhood place to come to socialize, discuss, laugh and learn. No subject is taboo, no event considered too private as immediate family have passed and babies born. In learning to measure what I write and to read much more than I say, the place still works for me and I appreciate those here that make me smile, warm my heart, force me to think and question that which I had taken for granted in this world as judgment should be the last thing I should be comfortable with here......so I am not.
