??? 'secession' has not exactly been the topic for many posts now.

I happen to disagree that secession should be easy/allowed, but *I* at least had said nothing about it.

You may of course offer an opinion...as you have for years. Some more...ummm.. 'controversial' opinions get strong reactions. YOU take on beardedbruce and others about their controversial opinions. That's the way it works. (I argue with BB regularly here, but we see each other RT regularly, too...and almost never mention these debates!)(and Big Mick, too)

If one feels they are being 'picked on' personally for their opinions, some re-examination of how much 'self' they want to invest in such forums may be in order.

I try to keep personalities, as much as possible, separate from ideas & opinions.....
