I come straight to the forum from a bookmark as well.
I like some of the special interest links I am pinged to, like the health and science and the doggy posts.
I just avoid the threads I now will get nasty and bogged down with repetitive arguments and insults. (and that's too many nowadays).
That was my husbands problem. He liked to mix it up and sometimes was too aggressive. He said that was acceptable when he signed up, but things changed and he didn't.
