Actually katlaughing, you're right--I'm not a "complete stranger" to this forum, I've just never posted under this moniker before. Yet, I remain anonymous even with this moniker and all the others I've used over time, don't I? You can't connect with me, even though my presence is a familiar one, because I choose to keep it that way.

You, OTOH, choose to play the tired old Mudcat game of labelling someone who voices a dissenting opinion and isn't a familiar member or guest, a troll. So there you go again katlaughing, being predictably xenophobic. Yes, I am a familiar stranger to Mudcat. But that doesn't make me a troll, and you know it.

Why are you so afraid of someone you don't know posting a dissenting point of view? I've just shared a lot of information about my family actually, which should make my views understandable to those who are attempting to understand them. Which you clearly aren't.

You are suggesting my contribution be ignored, not because I'm an anonymous troll, but because it rocks people's boats. So be it.
