Jul 2015

There are certain forums and groups I check regularly, a little off the beaten path maybe, as well as all the newly posted OPs, as time permits.

I can think of three whose postings I particularly looked for that haven't been around for a number of weeks.
I checked the last postings of one of them and saw it had become quite a brouhaha over one of the candidates.
I hope he returns, because he was a major contributor to one of the more minor groups I frequent.
Two others have just disappeared. - I'm concerned about the health of one, and the other may be on a temporary banishment, I hope.
Time will tell.

I'm non-confrontational myself and have no desire to get in the mud re any of the Dem. candidates.
I'll be voting for the Dem nominee, and, until that is decided, I'll be on the sidelines, cheering them all along.
