Re: "Traitors"
In Response To: Re: "Traitors" ()

I have received a great many responses to this post. At first i wanted to at least respond to each to show their replies were read and were important to me. However, I see now that to do that is a BIG mistake in this forum.

If I try to be polite and answer each person directly as a way of acknowledging the time they spent thinking and typing a reply, then I am criticized for endlessly posting, that I somehow "don't get it". If I do not directly answer someone's post for any reason whatsoever, then I am criticized again for not taking the "bait". It is a pretty silly game to play on what is supposed to be a serious discussion board.

In any "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, I have found sometimes the best response might be, "why bother" since clearly some folks just want a bag to punch, either way, they are more interested in personal insult than discussion. Seems that is what I have walked into here for the most part, although I did get some very very good meaningful replies from a few.

To the all folks who offered well thought out meaningful replies I thank you very much, I very much enjoyed reading what you had to say, and the insights you offered and the reasons why you come to those conclusions.
