My post, unlike SPP's, had a smiley at the end to indicate that I was joking. Of course SPP found reason to take offense to that also, and blasted me for using smileys. <Smiley withheld to avoid irritating SPP>

But I just hope - and maybe I've gone over to the dark side to have this "audacity" to hope, lol - but I do hope that we as individuals in this internet community can rise above the name calling and fueling the flames of the culture wars. I guess I'm idealistic that way.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I hoped so too, but frankly I've kind of given up. People on both sides of the aisle are just as bad... conservatives and liberals. I'll be glad when the elections are over and WE goes back to routine bickering. <swtaispp>
