As far as making friends, that's secondary. I've made friends and enemies, and then there are the trolls - some are silly, some are cutting, but hey it's the anonymous internet where things are not always what they seem. HOPE YOU STAY.

that I was at war with all of DU in one of my threads. Anyway I think you’re an important voice here. I had to take several breaks and then I’d be back when I got fired up enough to post. Maybe take a break, read, then post again later.

I decided that my best use of my intellect and skills is to follow my Dad , who has a union man and fearless protector of the oppressed .
I am preparing to defend thr constitution with my life . Posting here and trying to make the case for bold action is fruitless . I’ve been in federal and municipal law enforcement. I’m not afraid .

I completely disagreed with the removal, although I didn't protest it at the time. Pouted for a while. Hey, it still bugs me if I let it. Hope you'll reconsider, my friend.

Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go

May your path guide you in a positive direction.

While I don't know your specific reasons, I am just assuming it is a considered decision and the best one for you. If so, it would be hard for me to argue with your choice. You'll be missed. Your screen name was always a favorite of mine.
