Haven't learned anything really Beet1e, except to reinforce that unfairness lives everywhere. I posted an opinion that was deemed insensitive, got kicked out of the O'club. Some internet tough guys threatened to beat me up, even shoot me.. their behavior was studiously ignored.
Urchin, I've had pets in the family all my life, currently have 2 dogs and a cat. Have great stories about each of them on what wonderful pets they are. When one of them dies, I'm not going to come on this board and tell you about it, and how one of them was my best friend, broken hearted.. blah blah blah... not only would that sound a bit extreme, I don't see how airing such grief in a public forum, to a group of people who are largely strangers, is a good thing. Certainly one who does so shouldn't blubber like a girl when someone comments in a way said person doesn't like. After all, this is a public forum.
Now, we can continue to open this can of worms and have skuzzy come in here and slap me around some more, in spite of the fact that I've done nothing wrong, or we can just drop it.
