Chris - while I know you're far from being a political leftist, when you keep claiming that 'Under God' should never, ever have even been in the Pledge it simply comes off as anti-God and one who doesn't know you in the slightest could assume you must be a 'Godless leftie'

For the most part, I appreciate everyone's comments. Mustangbelle306 has shown great restraint here and I like the fact that she's seen how biting words lose your audience and your credibility. Always something to learn at Mustang Works.

I only know this from first hand experience. Everyone (as I have learned) should be concerned of "first impressions" when posting on a website. Remember my avatar, and newcomers assuming it was me? Same theory here...don't get offended when people get the wrong impression. If you don't care, ignore their comments. If you do, take the time to correct them.

With the hostility issue, I used to get all riled up over issues I felt strongly about, but I really don't care anymore. Someone doesn't agree with me? Who cares! I can still feel how I please on a matter, but I'm not really concerned over converting others, or repeatedly driving home my point, at least not on the board. Needless to say, my life is a bit more stress free because of it
