Gary,
We are all enjoying the tame and peaceful forum and hope that it continues on that path. There has been no resolution in mud-slinging.
I have observed open hostility to differing views in the past, with attack on any perceived vulnerability. It is not fair to the poster to be mobbed and creates reluctance in others to post. As an open forum, we should all maintain our tolerance and sense of humor.
My post was certainly not meant as a provocation. but only to share a philosophical insight. I thought the picture of two people carrying a donkey to appease prevalent opinion was very humorous, yet we can all relate to the pressure to do so.
As for your part, you are doing a fine job.
