Hey, I resemble that remark(newbie) :)
And I admit that a lot of discord has taken place lately, but I did not realize that some were comparing Terri schiavo to Christ. I DID see the posts blaming Jeb and W, and some about "never forgiving them" I even got caught up a little bit, then, got guided back to sanity by you. No, I do not want to see the old timers leave, as I said on the other post about the other old timer leaving. the veterans here are needed to keep things in check.
However, it looks like some are STILL bent on keeping the discord going, no matter what I,You, or anyone else try to recommend. Shame. As you said, this is what makes DU laugh at us, and nobody wants that!
This is a good site, where we can all benefit from each other's wisdom. We newbies need you oldsters to help keep things that way.
