Being a member of the Open Forum, I miss the sense of family and community but without the sarcasm, hostility, insults and mob mentality. I find this Forumto be the calm oasis of pleasant and intelligent discussion that many of us needto spend some happy time away from the cares and stress of life. In the shorttime I have been here, I find that no one has to pretend to be what they are not.Folks here can disagree without being disagreeable. Folks here seem tio be real people,and not a part of a mob of attention seeking elitists. For all of the above, I am very gladto be a part of this Forum.
