Dr.Dross,
I, too, want to extend my hand in friendship and say that I harbor no hard feelings about anything that transpired, previously. Your apology is readily and eagerly accepted.
Also, I'm glad you decided not to leave the site. I have every confidence that, in future posts, you will bring valuable insight to any discussion ... as long as you're on MY side of the discussion. LOL!
To Archie and lindajoy, I want to express my gratitude to you for your kind words. Right now, on a different thread, there are a couple of your compatriots who are feeling the exact opposite about me, I'm sure. LOL
My hope and desire is that everyone on the OPP could express their viewpoints without resorting to slander and insults. Although, there are occasions where I feel compelled to return fire with like fire. (The other thread is one of those where we have retreated to trading insult for insult. But, that's life on the OPP, sometimes. I'll just not take it personally with the "gentlemen" I'm currently "debating" with. LOL
Again, many thanks for your kind words and know how much I appreciate our discussions and value your points of view, too. I can honestly and openly say that there have been times when what you (both) have posted caused me to re-think my position on a topic and saw where I was in error. Just goes to show that even though I'm an "old dog," I can still learn a few "new tricks," on occasion.
Dr.Dross, I sincerely hope and pray that whatever is going-on in your life, that is having a negative effect on it, that God will show you a way through it, to the betterment of everyone involved. And, if you ever want to discuss something privately, just PM me. The website has a methodology that allows one to do that by clicking on the person's name you want to PM. This invitation is extended to anyone and everyone, as long as the PMs remains civil.

You are way too kind. Thank you. I will pm you: need the balance. The fact that Linda Joy and Archie Bunker hold you in such high esteem speaks volumes of you as a decent person. I have always appreciated your views. I just went a**hole for a bit there. Very embarrassing. Not even clear why. I look forward to a better communication on my part.
