I miss some of that. I rather like people with strong opinions as long as they can present them in an intelligent manner. The political thread has all but died and it used to be such an interesting read. It's all got a little too "feel good" for me. It's ok to disagree, even to argue, as long as it's kept in perspective. It's all just a bit boring now.

I still get told things like that sometimes (just not in those words always) but who really cares, those incidents are very seldom. I enjoy the friends I have made here and that is what makes this place so enjoyable, and debate more cordial.

I think thats where we get so many more posts now, rather than discussing one point about priest, we discuss all kinds of things

Probably most because DF has been a voice of reason for so long it finally caught on some. True there are some people, including myself at times who don't know when to STFU but, seems some things have gotten better over the years. There are alot of missing members I wish would come back, while I never had the pleasure of meeting Breezy there are several that used to be here, I do miss. Hope I don't step on your toes with this post as it was never my intention to do so.
