My sincere thanks and appreciation go out to EVERYONE OF YOU who took the time to express your support either ON or OFF line. I too have learned volumes from many of the thread participants; and after reading the posts and E-mail messages I sincerely felt that I had no choice but to reconsider my earlier decision.

Michael helped me (finally) realize that justifiably or not I too have crossed the line; and in doing so provided the posts that the true fascists on this thread needed to convice Jill to act on their multiple requests to supress the information I provide. And Rod helped me realize that to leave the thread would serve no other purpose than to reward and further encourage such behaviour. The rest of you who wrote helped me regain the inspiration and the courage I needed to be able to deal with these two issues.

From now on I will simply ignore those with an apparent inability to distinguish between criticism of ideas and their socially inaceptable tendency to personalize their commentary, as well as those who purposefully launch their personal attacks in an effort to detract attention from an issue they can not deal with intellegently. As long as I can do that Jill will remain on my side -- which in this case also happens to be the side of liberty and freedom of expression.

To those of you who cared enough to write I say thank you and have a wonderful evening, morning, or whatever happens to be appropriate in your part of the globe.
