Of course! I'm more re-familiarizing myself with posting here than anything else...it seems like it is back to how it was when I first came here. (Good thing.)

I hate to burst your bubble, but being recently back myself after an absence of several years, I am shocked at how nasty FReepers have become since then.
Especially the political threads. Every second post is RINO, RINO, RINO, which after all is an insulting term. People don’t seem to want to discuss issues. You simply cannot say anything in support of any candidate or even suggest one of the favorite sons or daughters here is unelectable without getting involved in a confrontation. Nothing is gained in these confrontations, IMO. No ideas are exchanged, nothing is learned, no information is gained. Just name calling back and forth.
If anyone is of the opinion that’s not accurate, then as a test I suggest you make a vanity post as to why you will vote for Romney or even Perry, or not vote for Palin if she runs, and see if you get an invitation to sensible discourse or raft of insults and ad hominem attacks in return.
When I posted to you “Can we agree to disagree?”, in my mind it was 50-50 as to whether the response would be pleasant or something else.
