I'm not from IL...
Mar 6, 2012 - 03:34 pm
Because condescending would be me asking why someone from Boston, that's not from IL is on a Peoria forum in the first place



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.

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

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.

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.
