Aloha Sun, Tibs, Tink, CES, Starry, jj, Jerry & Sea!
Please do not apologize for the conversation last night. Talk of war did not bother me. And even if it did me personally, it is no reason for you not to talk about it amicably. War is tragedy on a mass scale and on each person's individual level. Your posts were enlightening and heart wrenching. Thank you for sharing them. They say just bringing the stories out can be part of the long healing process.
All I am trying to do is keep things pleasant, so that all of us have a place to relax and enjoy each other's company. We all have strong beliefs and politics happens to be one of the focal points of such beliefs. I have lost good, long time friends in the real world due to seemingly insignificant, political disagreements. The conversations usually started innocently, with a smile, and then, we simply talked no more...ever.
I apologize to all for my idiosyncrasies. And I am flattered by your continued visits, my friends. Thank you.
eta: and aloha Pokey!
