upset anyone or freaked anyone out. I know I'm new, made two OPs about issues in my area, but we have a small population out here in the Rockies so not many paid attention, and then Friday happened...

Not much for introductions but I was glad for the welcomes I got.

Not into getting too wrapped up even in my own belief systems when posting ... but I agree that I have also noticed some posts that seemed a little more "out there" in venting style and content than one might anticipate. And then, there are some who aren't skilled in articulation, I can be guilty of that myself at times.

And I really like the smiley things...!
