Well Ray I don't know how to take your answer. Is it sarcasm? or are you serious? We are all driven by religion and politics. If on this forum we leave religious and political agenda at home and discuss this disease, the symptoms, breaking medical news, our feelings about the disease and stay away from putting anyone down it would go a long way toward helping one another directly. For example political rants that go on forever do alienate people and they don't really further any cause. This just becomes a forum for the poster to feel that if they yell the loudest they can silence others voices. By the way it does work, ganging up and yelling that is. This forum has lost many valuable contributors when regular posters gang up on them and all yell together when they feel that any person is making a point that is not in keeping with the gangs political and anti religious agenda. If you really want to stop posting politically biased, anti religious and inflammatory statements then I applaud you. It is good to see you have come to realize avoiding politics and religion will go a long way toward getting this list back to the useful list it once was.
