First I'd like to offer up a great big "HOWDY!!!" to all the new folks who have been posting. Thanks for stopping by!

Since Greenspun went down again, I thought it might be helpful to post the back up site for everyone again. Here it is:

Freedom Back Up

It's not as nice as this format, but it's pretty good.

Secondly, I would like to say that if you have a differing opinion on a topic of conversation you are MORE than welcome to post it, however, if you simply want to stir up bad feelings and have no intelligent insight to offer on a topic, please refrain from posting.

Lately some people have felt the need to be trolls....Why? I have no idea. Just like to cause trouble, I guess. If that fits your reason for visiting here, then please move along. There are plenty of boards which have spun off from Cside and I am sure you can find one where you can avoid the desire to irritate people. Intelligent discourse and reasoned responses from different perspectives are quite welcome! But as Rags said "10 page cat fights over misinterpretations and misunderstandings" (or something like that) are not necessary.

I know some of my postings have a bit of sarcasism , and I don't know if I offend others here. Or if I'm one that this thread is referring to .If I am, I will stop posting here.If I'm not contributing anything useful here,then I'm just wasting my time as well as y'all.As far as intelligent insight goes, it is the priorities of the person judging that determines what is intelligence. I like posting on Freedom Self Relience, but I'm still not convinced there's a place on Earth where intelligence is accepted over money and power.

Steve, I don't think Doreen was pointing a finger at you. Most of here are quite sarcastic and your posts that I've seen, seem most civil.

There was an antagonist from Countryside coming in under cover of a fake name & addie. I love Doreen! Instead of censorship through the delete key, she threatened full exposure of their true identity for us all to see.

Steve, I wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. Thanks for being concerned, but it wasn't you that tweaked anything. Also, I didn't threaten full exposure, just dismay...Just please, everyone, remember that there are just a couple of guidlines here nothing excessive at all. If you don't know what they are, please check the "about" linl at the top of the page.

And really!!! Thanks for coming here. It is my express and deepest desire o help people become more free. Really.;)

Oh, sorry Doreen. I sorta read that post on another thread as an "implied" threat of exposure. I thought it was brilliant!
