My husband calls him Corleone.

53. Oh my.

Of course you can comment here.

I'll add a few more: the problem with a typo is what it can be used for.

I just had one myself in another thread - It's not "President Pro Ten." It's "President Pro Tem-with-an-m". D'OH!!! Shame on me. I know better. And I'm a better proof-reader than that. But then I resonate yet again with this very early Peanuts cartoon that rang my chimes back when my age was a single digit. It was Lucy grandstanding (as usual) at Charlie Brown (as usual), and making this BIG-Ass Earth-Shaking Point Of The Universal Truthiness, and getting one word wrong. And the punchline of that strip was her concession - "I'm never quite so stupid as when I'm being smart." Can't count how many times that's applied to me!

Interesting term you throw in here: "peer-reviewed publications." That's really good! NO snark meant! Seriously. I personally happen to love when somebody comes up with a cool way to describe something. I felt the same when I realized something else that goes on here all the time and a word popped up to describe it REEEEEEALLLLY gorgeously: "curated." Or "curating." Or "curator(s)." That's what we do here - those of us who make points or initiate discussions or write OPs or post some breaking news they may have just that moment spotted on CNN or their Twitter feed or some such. Shit - that's what we are, here. Curators. We find news and make points that haven't had conventional media exposure, and it all lives and thrives here!

Your post count suggests you're new here. Hey, lots of us had bumpy starts. I say that in all congeniality because I prefer to think of you as another one of us. A fellow Gem. A fellow liberal/progressive/Independent - whatever. Someone more or less of like mind. We kick stuff around here all hours of every day. One of us, Skittles I think, once said "someone's always here." And how!

That said, there are some who've come here whose intention is more to disrupt and stir shit up. It's hard to know for sure unless a track record starts to take shape, and somebody notices. And you have to look at whether it's serious in-depth discussion that includes a Devil's Advocate debater, or it's just some invading trouble-maker. And if/when somebody notices, probably the first response might be snark or some other challenge. We've certainly had our share of trolls. I've only had a short exposure to you so far, so I'm reserving judgment. Welcome mat is still out there.

But I gotta warn you (from personal experience) - when somebody thinks you've stepped in it, SHEEEEEEEIT, do they ever let you know.
