Subject: RE: BS: Do you need to be censored?
Amen, Bill. ***chuckle**** I remember those days, even though I came a bit after you. The piece that we had then was a sense of wonderment and excitement at the newness of it all. We were amazed at the characters and personalities, the enlightened sense of getting to know each other. We were amazed at some of the icons of ours, such as our Jean, Arlo, and a host of others. We were excited about building the place that Rick came to call "the place he always wanted to live in". We cared about the site, but these days it has lost that. I know we can never get back the sense of wonder, all kids grow up. But we can mature into the respected site we should be, the source of information in a short time we always laughed about. We can encourage the inquisitive minds, and the great debaters, and we can discourage the malcontents who come here to hear themselves "speak" or too just plain be destructive. The manipulators need to find another home. We can get this done.
