6. I have to agree with what others have written.

I don't post in here, because I know that the lurkers here would have a hey-day with my posts. They do so with innocuous posts, so some of mine would REALLY set them off!!

I know the truth of my life. I know what I believe, and why I believe it. I also make observations about others, about their postings, and know that to voice those observations would get me banned almost immediately. Instead, I live by one of the corollaries to Murphy's Law: A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and a fool something to stick in his mouth.

I do a lot of reading, and I do have questions about some things. I would like to get them answered, but, due to the atmosphere on this site, I don't dare ask them. So, I have joined other forums for men on the internet, and I'm happy to be involved elsewhere.

I remember when this group was started, back on DU2. I read some of the derogatory comments made about it then, and realized early that it could not possibly be a place to have good discussions about real issues that men may have. So, I lurk a lot, and post infrequently--and non-controversially.


And yes, I did a lot parsing of what I've written, and most of this post has been re-written several times to ATTEMPT to be non-controversial while still cogently adding to this discussion.
