Like yourself, members here are somewhat free to express their views and feelings. However, you shouldn't be so quick to take offense from what one solitary individual has written in his response. We have Administrators and Moderators on this board who oversee its operation and who are the ONLY ones who have any authority to determine what is allowed and not allowed. Unless one of those individuals, of whom I am one, expresses to you personally that you are not wanted here, then it would be best if you ignore such suggestions from others.

Tom was out of line, as far as I'm concerned, in one of his replies to you. He was presumptuous to think that many or most of the members here would respond to you in a less than amiable way. I think you will find that his assessment is not accurate nor representative of most of us here. As an Administrator, one of my duties and desires is to 'keep the peace' if at all possible and to make sure the [font:Comic Sans MS][b]Guidelines[/b][/font] are followed.

Lastly, depending upon the 'thickness of your skin' you will have to decide whether such responses are warrant to no longer participate or visit here. Wouldn't one of the "good things" which you are advocating we all adopt and practice be Jesus' admonition to "turn the other cheek" (Matt 5:39; cf. Rom 12:17-19; 1Cor 6:7; 1Thess 5:15; 1Pet 3:9).
