I had reason to look back at this vanity thread today.

And it made me want thank those who posted to it - the thread was deeply personal for me.

But we’ve lost a lot of Freepers this year and I didn’t want to be insensitive by pinging those who are no longer here. So I went through the thread and found that every single person who posted still has an active account. And I wonder if that says something.

Not about me. And it certainly doesn’t stop us from disagreeing about other things. Or from disagreeing with the mods etc.

But I wonder if it doesn’t say something about those who have had and chose to share a personal experience that we all wound up tolerant. Tolerant enough to avoid getting so wrapped up in the conflict that we could no longer find a place here.

Anyway, I appreciate you all.

Paul

Hey likewise! Thanks for your post. I went in without thinking about it, read down it and learned things new, again.

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

John and Paula Sanford write in their

TRANSFORMATION OF THE INNER MAN or some such title

TRUTH WITHOUT LOVE IS BRUTALITY.

LOVE WITHOUT TRUTH IS (useless) SENTIMENTALITY.

I think that’ strue.

Christ brought us both in Himself.
