I'm still here. You guys've been difficult to connect with. Some have been friendly, yet most have been quite uncivil. I've posted some poetry, a message concerning revolution, and polite responses to any questions answered, which you've chosen to regard as pretentious, and nothing more. I'm, paradoxically, a down-to-earth person, who respects each opinion as equal, yet mine hasn't been respected here much at all. It seems as if some regulars have grouped into a clique to pick on the newcomer, which I find immature. If I read poetry I didn't like, I'd simply move on to the next thread. Anyhow, thanks to the few who expressed good wishes. x
