I'm not from IL... on the Peoria.com Forums

When I first came here, I liked how you all seemed to be discussing political and religious topics with civility. I was looking for just such venue. It just happened to be on a site about Peoria and Peorians.

Perhaps you'd rather keep it to your own neck of the woods. I should have asked before I joined.

A new perspective is always good. Personally, I welcome you to the boards.

The # 1 poster on here lives in Michagan, top 10 posters box to your left.

I enjoy having you here...who cares where someone lives?

My sentiments exactly. I'm looking forward to lunch next time I'm in Boston!

Is someone giving you a hard time for not being from the Peoria Area?

Shut it, New Yorker! ;-)

haha...I've been called worse, probably by people on this board.

Welcome to PDC AverageJoe - I also welcome an outsiders view and take on our little issues.

Hey.. .I resemble that remark!

not exactly. just what I had quoted caught me off-guard and I realized I kind of intruded w/o asking if I could play with you guys.

When I was a young lass, and saw some kids playing, I would be too shy to join them.

Then I got older and just barged in and MADE them let me play! LOL

Then I got even older and typically would ask... and I hadn't.

anyway, thanks for the feedback.

amen, brotha!

Oh, a NY - Boston war would not be pretty

I agree with you. I have come close to leaving this forum a numebr of times. For now I stay around to be a thorn in some right wingers side. I might still walk away from it too.

After years of livng and working in a progressive, liberal forward thinking environment with plenty of things to do in the field of social justice, there are times when my patience with the right wing is non existant. For the record, there is a big difference between conservative and right wingers.

That pretty much sums up the reason I stick around...but I'm sitting on the other wing.

well, "conservative" could mean religious conservative or fiscal conservative. VERY different... especially since I subscribe to one and the thorn in the side of the other.

I don't know where AV8R is on the fiscal scale, but I'm a thorn in his side on the other scale.
