I just found this site, saw some interesting things and responded to one.....and apparently earned a spot on their ignore list. In other words...WTF! I hope that the narrow-minded bigot is not indicative of the other folks here!!!

Anyway, let me introduce myself. I am not an expert in anything, ergo the reason for my name... A pisher is an inexperienced person or someone of no or little importance. I have many interests and an open mind more than happy to learn at the feet of those who have experience and knowledge. I often make mistakes and my words lack in depth and color.

Here I am... intrusive into the lives of complete strangers (and apparently have upset at least one). If I stumble, be kind and offer my a hand up. If I offend, it will never be intentional.

Welcome. A few weeks ago, this opp site "supposedly" made rules prohibiting ignorant posters calling each other tremendously repulsive, nasty, vulgar potty mouth names.
Well, that doesn't seem to be the case.
However, I enjoy reading posts from decent, polite posters.
Have to take the bad with the good.

Thank you for the welcome. I did not use any foul language and did not address anyone on a personal level and I did not use a single disagreeable word. Someone asked a question that I knew a little about and I tried to respond...perhaps my reply was not sophisticated enough and I sounded ignorant. I do not have a college education, so maybe this site is only for those with educational accomplishments. I will stick around for a day or two... maybe I will find others like yourself who don't mind a new person.

Welcome to OPP, a site full of extremes. Prepare to be offended and enlightened, disgusted and delighted. Enjoy!

I WAS NOT talking about you! I have not read any post from you.
Sorry if I sounded that way.
All I am saying is that there are extremely immature posters who just can't seem to stay on the subject at hand.....like they are here just to prove how obnoxious they can be.
I can't believe you thought I was putting you down in any way.

Lesson #1 on OPP: do not take things personal. Depending on your views and whom you address them to, you're likely to be offended by someone, someway. Don't let it get-your-goat.

Welcome!!! And upon reading your introduction I have to respond with "He who knows he knows little knows a great deal!"

Well, I see why you got in trouble. You said there is good and bad in every group or religion. Some people can not accept that.
There are some serious Jew h**ers here, so you probably got instantly labeled as one.

Personally I welcome new people and never consider someone to be ignored until they have proven themselves not only crude but foolish in their remarks. somehow I do not believe you will be either.

If I had a question, Mr. Horn, I would have asked it. Now, please explain the sense of, or the rationale behind your post to me.

I'm pretty certain I know who cut you off Pisher and was not shocked.
This forum is a target rich environment for trolls and zealots .We have a few.

No need to sweat the small stuff. Welcome aboard.

I believe you first introduced yourself, pisher, as a secular liberal progressive. Am I "right"? A "yankee" liberal??? Was THAT you???

Pisher

You are fine....and no you did not come off as putting anyone down.
