I believe that everyone deserves a warm welcome and our respect. But when people have opinions, things can get heated. And everyone needs to remember all honesty can have some conflict, but it doesn't mean that you are not a valued member here.

It's kind of the opposite of how George Kennedy and Paul Newman became friends in Cool Hand Luke. After Kennedy pounded the snot out of Newman, and Newman would not give up, Kennedy developed a great admiration for Newman (Luke). Here we greet you warmly. Once you express an opinion, however, get ready for verbal fisticuffs. Actually, most everyone here enjoys a good debate, and we try to keep it from getting personal. It is actually good to see some more thoughtful conservative voices here. It helps to balance the playing field.

Yes, as heretofore they've been particularly thin on the ground!

We just patronize him so he won't turn violent.
