It was good having you here. Don't know what happened - but I wish it hadn't.

LH, if you look at the FB thread up top, Mudcatters on FB, you'll see that several of us have had our Mudcat photos hijacked for bogus memberships over there. (It gets political, so I won't muck up this thread with any more about it.)

Old Dude, I'll miss you... you bring a freshness to the site...
a wide-eyed wonder... I stay out of the basement pretty much...
it might get lonelier at the top, but the view is much better...

In semi-related news, I've been witnessing a couple of 9/11 Truthers tear at each other in a public way, which probably makes the Big Boys happy.... hope you feel better soon...... R.

Something to do with Facebook, is it?

I'm not sure which particular incident you're referring to that upset you, OldDude, but that's politics. I call it "the Great Divider", because it can make enemies out of people who would otherwise get along just fine with each other. It seems to bring out the worst in people for some reason.

I've done myself the favour of simply avoiding the serious political threads here pretty much for the past 2 or 3 days, and I'm more relaxed and happy as a result of that...and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I recommend to others who find the political hatreds in this place getting to them to do the same...just don't get involved in the political fights if you can possibly find the determination to resist doing so.

(and I know that is not easy...)

Pretty much what I've been feeling, Dan, but if we leave the bastards get it all to themselves even more and then we'd miss out on the beauty of the music section with Frank Hamilton, Sandy & Caroline, Art Thieme and so many others. Take a break and then maybe come back just to the music section? Regardless, it has been a real treat to have you here and esp. to hear your return to music. THAT is special! Thanks for sharing and lovin'.

Very sad news.

Don't know you particulary, but I've enjoyed your comments.

Take care and I hope it won't be too long before we see you again.

anyone needs to get a hold of me Susan, Ditty, Spaw, Peace, Kat, Jerry and a host of other have my email.   I have had enough of the political BS up to last a lifetime ... When we allow people that steal the identity of our friends and I end up exposing that crap to my kids I lose it... I know facebook is not Mudcat but the only people who know I am close to Bruce is Here on this site ... when we decide to clean it up ... someone let me know
until then I am outta here ...

What crap!!
