Exactly what Ice said. The political area and leave your feelings at the door! But, most of us backed away from political discussions. It became heated before the election.
Feel better. Welcome back.

wanting to come back forever and get 50 messages, but didn't want to type short messages with nothing to say (Quality is much better than quantity) So the first
thing is I want is Trump out of office asap. I cannot understand how so many blue workers voted for Trump. If you are very wealthy I can understand voting for Trump. If you are an average senior like me Why would they even consider voting for him? Democratic base was into raising min wage to $15 a hour and social security benefits would have been better for us. My biggest reason not voting Trump was changing the Supreme court and go backwards 50 years. I am not sitting
looking to start a flame war rather listen to their reasons and have open discussions. If this is done right and get more groups to get active this could really escalate
into some thing huge. It has to be done with the utmost respect for all parties involved. It has to be in a friendly non invasive place where people can talk about
whats happening in Trumpland. If people or persons start beating on their chest we have to gently remind them that this site is to learn about the issues and share
their thoughts. Does anybody have ideas where we start this exchange of ideas?
Hi Larryjay, I know it is very easy to get confused where to post. Your idea as Ice said may be best in the Political thread.
Here;

This is after all member, NyneMil4 welcome thread.
Did you start one for your introduction?
Oh yes here it is;
http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=12...2#pid18992
.... Sometimes another member gets piggybacked on a common welcome thread but the courteous thing is not to highjack this members welcome thread with your ideas, keep it on track towards OP.
Try to follow up in another thread more appropriate rather than this one out of respect to the good member trying to follow forum rules and start their welcome thread.
Just saying to use an Ice'ism and no offense meant to you.
Welcome Larrujay. I hope you recover from your shoulder surgery I am sure you will , but recovery from Trump will be painful and long . Political discussions are dangerous as they ignite passionate feelings. Lets keep it under the political sections.

Thanks for the get well greetings. You are so right on about Trump recovery being long and painful
Welcome Nyne! I was around before the group change as well but hadn't been active so I missed the all the fun lol. So here we are to start a new. This has been a pretty drama free place and focusing on the important stuff. Everyone has been really kind. So welcome!
Larry, welcome. I am not sure if you realize where you are posting, but I suspect you may have intended to start your own intro thread and inadvertently commented on someone else's by mistake? You might want to take a look at that and start one for yourself.
AS I am quite sure, you WILL soon finger out that we are absolutely NOTHING like that other place, we care and respect others here and above all we show respect, especially to our ladies that call this forum their home...
Disrespect is not/ and will not be tolerated .... I for one will never go for anything that even seems like disrespect, whether towards and guy or a lady, matters not to me... AND if one chooses to show Charon any sort of grief, I will most assuredly make the time they have left here as awful as humanly possible and believe you me, I know a few things that help me with that.... I'm "The Jerk" around these here parts and I do take things very seriously ....
Sorry for the lecture, it's just I do want all those coming from the "hell pit" of the old useless IOPList(dot)com to understand we are not anything like that.... We are and extended family and act accordingly...
Thank you for your understanding in advance....
Ice
