    I think I will find a true Laughing Place elsewhere.

    Anyway, you'll always be welcome if you decide to come back.

    Every thread? Maybe in WE, but the rest of LP is fairly benign, IMO. WE may be a part of LP, it certainly isn't a laughing place. Think of WE as outside the berm: real, and frequently ugly.

    If I want close-mindedness I will watch CSPAN.

    I know I'd miss your posts around here.

    I understand and I have never been to WE. I have seen it happen to others and it has happened to me. Now, when I see that I am being bated I leave that topic. I hope I never feel the need to get off LP altogether but sometimes I do find the need to take a break. Maybe you can come back after a breather.
    My best to you and yoursº0º

    I hope you make the right choice for you KT!!!

    Here's the thing though. If you're really that upset, you should leave.

    But it doesn't mean you can't come back.

    As has been said before, this discussion board can be very busy at times and sometimes we Moderators can't make it to every post or even every topic. We count on you helping us to keep LP a place where everybody feels welcome.
