Well, at least you're consistent. Gotta give you props for that. The intent of my post wasn't to criticize you for feeling the way felt, so i hope you didn't get that tone. I just wanted to know if you'd have had the same feelings in other situations. Thanks for the honest answers. As someone else said, you're one of the most level-headed folks in here. Though i still think you're a little too far left for my tastes . Doesn't mean we can't get along though!
