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!!

Thank you for leaving a comment on my column Jerry. I've accepted your friend request and I'm looking forward to our interactions.
- Henry.
Thanks for adding me as a friend.
Friend request gladly accepted and it's long overdue we should be on each other's list. Thank you.
Thanks for the F R, Jerry, I see you are are fond of 'my' mountains! Enjoy!!
Hey, Jerry. Thanks for all the invites.
Thank you for the invitation to join the Child Abuse and Abduction, and End Violence Against Women groups, as they are very near and dear to my heart.

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.
