I'll bet that you had an excellent reason for that...and the past few days here have probably reminded you what that reason was...

Nah, y'all are fine and dandy. My main forum that I've been on for longer than here would eat up this convo and vomit it back to you still alive. 30 years of being heavily on the internet (physical disability, agoraphobia, etc.) has given me a thick skin.

I'm literally banned from FB. That takes years of effort.

I have a lot of opinions about a lot of this stuff but a person must know their audience and I love this site thus I am treading carefully. I've been called an Authoritarian Leftist and an Anarcho-Communist and a Eugenist etc.

I really just want everyone to be healthy and happy.

Life is best enjoyed when one doesn't worry about what others think of them.

I embrace a life philosophy that I first learned when I was a kid reading the "Peanuts" comic strip by the incomparable Charles Schulz, who was able to convey the entire gamut of human facial expressions and emotions with only a few quickly-sketched simple lines. To quote Lucy's pithy explanation:

"I want to make the world a better place for me to live in."
