HI Jerry
I have had problems with NV deleting my friends
FR sent again.
Sorry !— MJL-3
Hello Jerry,
I just read your bio and I think we have a lot in common regarding some disenchantment with the current state of the GOP and also with seeing the value in someone else's opinion… even if there is disagreement.
I look forward to following you on Newsvine. :)
Thanks, Jerry. Glad to have a new friend!
:) Thank you....I am certain, that I will be most enlightened.
A Happy Progressive New Year!!

Jerry:
Thanks for accepting my friends request.
I want to let you know that if I do "Bust your chops" I am sure it will be in fun. I like what I know about you; I respect you and your opinions.
Sometimes I do like to get my needle out and poke a wee… but really I am not going to bash you.
Thanks again.

Jerry,
Thought I'll leave a comment here, since your Climate thread has been hijacked.
I see that you've been in touch with McSpocky about how to moderate your discussion groups. It might be time to use some of the tools at your disposal. I don't want to name names, but you have some pretty bad characters there, and arguing with them just seems to make them happy.
BTW - I enjoyed your seed. Thanks - and keep it up.
I am not an angry man. Competitive and intense at times, but not angry. I actually think that racially charged topics are difficult to analyze because of perspective. When confronted by two or more views I consider poorly informed I do on occasion become condescending - at least from a perspective I might have mistaken for arrogance. I'm an avid student of history and struggled through three years at MIT in the 60's.
I may be quick on the trigger but I always pursue enlightened exchanges here. Just ask McSpocky.
I appreciate what you were trying to do in that thread, even if I had difficulty with the nuts and bolts. . .
If you have anything you'd like to add, please feel free to contact me.
