I'd like to know how many other members feel the same way that you do, because this is important. So you are interested in politics, but you don't feel comfortable posting there, is that correct? (I know some people simply aren't interested in discussing politics--just getting a read here.)

This is very important. Thank you for saying this.

Now, I can't let you get away with saying this, lady. You made us sit up and take notice almost immediately after you joined... I have always considered your opinion to be valuable here, and that feeling has not diminished during your time here. I am sorry that you don't feel valuable--but honey, you ARE!!! Just your posts on that recent porn thread alone are extremely strong, and I am very glad that you spoke out honestly on the issue.
