I want to express my appreciation for the arguments and discussions we had while it lasted. I enjoy debating with folks who believe things I just can't wrap my head around. I don't get upset or take anything personally, and I have a great time. Invariably, everything goes downhill to basic abuse, and everything that I enjoy fades away. I tried a very different approach here, complete openness and honesty, hoping for a different result. There are a few of you who responded well, and I appreciate you. But my presence here obviously doesn't make a lot of you happy, and since this is a place people come to share their common beliefs...I ruin the soup, if you will.
So I say goodbye, with no hard feelings on my end. Best of luck to you all!

Likewise!
Drop by if you change your mind. ;)
Good luck to you too.
I had so many questions regarding police brutality in the USA that only you, a former deputy sheriff from Texas, could've answered. Like, how come peace officers don't "immobilize" civilians by shooting them in the leg...if they must shoot them, instead of killing them? :eyebrow:
Oh, well...
Ecurb Noselrub, too bad, there goes your only chance... :therethere:
imaginaryfriendless could've helped you with your little "newt" problem because he has a herpetology master's degree. :grin:
Happy trails to you, until we meet again. :wave hi:

That's a temporary solution. :smileshake:
All solutions are temporary.

Not if you pray hard enough. :therethere:

Not like a Texan to run away from a challenge. But hey, different strokes for different folks.
I sincerely hope you eventually find a safe place where you fit in.

Not if you're from Texas.
Neither surprised nor saddened.
Some do not know the difference between debate and diatribe.
This and the other two threads have new homes. It's an experiment.

Does Shaker's law count if the person lurks every now and then, while not logged in? ;)

Not at all. I enjoyed them.
