Thanks for sharing, Debi. I'm hearing frustration . . .
AAAAGGGHHH!!!!!
It's good to hear from you and I largely agree with you. I'm not
Bozo-technic; I think that means just consigning some people to the "junk"
box. But I still read, largely because -- oh, the delight -- my name is
often mentioned, and sometimes not truthfully or respectfully. (I think
there's something in my past that makes me just hate that . . .)
Hope all is well with you,
keely

Indeed, Keely. Exactly why I "bozo" filtered DJA. I have also now filtered
Mr. Ed, ToeKnee, and
Dick. I'm not as able as you and Chas to attempt discourse with these folks.
It just raises my
blood pressure and fuels their vitriolic responses.
I learned some time ago that reality can't penetrate the preconceptions of
some people, nor
can information be evaluated rationally through anger, fear, and hate. It's
even worse when
wrapped in a cloud of quasi-religious rhetoric.
While most folks on V2020 can discuss expressed opinions (albeit angrily at
times), and often
change their minds when given facts, a few are just unable to get past their
own pile of BS long
enough to even recognize their own blind spots. DJA, Dick, ToeKnee, and Mr.
Ed are among
those few. I often disagree with others, but find their writing at least
interesting and sometimes
amusing. These four, however, are simply dreary, nasty, and repulsive.
Bozo filters are the best thing invented since call screening!
