Jason,
Honestly, neither you nor I have ever once posted anything on Imperial or Deluxe which was bad or wrong. We have both focused exclusively on vintage topics on those two forums
Here, in the Sandbox, I read about your new house with great interest and, every so often, was able to contribute a minor note on your questions
Here, in the Sandbox, you and I have also disagreed on many things. That doesn't make me right and you wrong. It absolutely, however, does not make me a troll <br
We will probably never agree on what Christianity is supposed to be about. I saw too many of my friends die of Aids in the 1980's and have lived for too long as an equal citizen in Europe to ever forgive or accept the American Christian perspective that it's good for homosexuals to die of Aids and God meant for us to be beat up, denied housing, jobs and even the right to visit our loved ones when they are dying in the hospital...never mind the right to be married and raise children <br
You lean Republican, I am very much a yellow-dog Democrat. Funny, both our political views were influenced by the Deep South - my mother marched in Alabama and Georgia for civil rights for Negroes <br
I am a Christian, tho' I understand that by your definition of Christianity, that is not possible <br
Where do we go from here? It is foolish after all these years to believe that my leaving would change anything here - we both were onboard long before the Austin incident, we both have seen the 'other' collectors' club (which I never once have participated in) go through enormous turmoil, again and again <br
Let Robert make his changes. We will then have three forums where we can share our common interests. There will be a fourth or fifth where those of us who do enjoy arguing and discussing politics and human status for gays and such can do so. Those who have driven so many from the club through the years will continue to attack me and others, those who don't want anything to do with such discussion like you are free to ignore those forums. Or to participate. As you like <br
