Looks like we have a group hug in process. Thats great as I hate to see VR members go ape on each other. By the way I hate the password option.
If every heated thread requires a password a good many threads will need passwords.
I decided to review my original post and there is no doubt I could have posted in a kinder, gentler tone ... I did not intent to target the heath care thread but I see how it could have been taken that way .... not being a particularly political guy I did not chime in on it, no need to open my mouth about something I am unfamiliar with and remove all doubt of my intelligence level....
I still don’t understand how it got to the point it did .... but this has happened before with my post and that of others ... I never have purposely stirred the pot unless it was in fun on a subject that provided humor ... we all have hot buttons and when pushed we react ... the intensity of that reaction depends on what state of mind we are in or what is going on in our lives ....
I was not trying to police VR or act as an administrator in any way .... I have no desire or aspirations in that area .... I have enjoyed VR for the past four years but I must be honest and say that the joy I find here has been, and is fading .... I think we all at times take ourselves a little more seriously than we should ... VR has been a much needed place for relaxation stress relief for me but lately that has not been the case ... some get mad and leave, take a break and then return .... I believe it is time for me to move to the back row or maybe just hang out in the lobby .... I feel that I have lost something that I do not know that I can regain....
Remember, laugh, love, eat cake and be nice.....

WAIT!!!!!! The weekday chat was a Naughty Chat??????? I sure wish someone would have told me. I feel so left out. I wasn't mad before - but I sure am NOW!!!!!See? This is what happens when we don't have any weekday naughty chat in our lives....
). I will say that when I had trouble registering - Ross was johnny on the spot at getting it sorted out. What you do Ross is a thankless job and I for one want to take the opportunity to thank you now. So ... THANKS! 
Truer words were never spoken. You will make yourself crazy if you try.
I haven't been here long enough and have no desire to ruffle any feathers (yet!
Finding this forum has been a Godsend for me now that I am facing the scariest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. While my friends and family are really rallying round, it is thie people on this forum that truly understand my fear and what I am dealing with. So while I thank Ross I want to thank the members too for all the support and knowledge. I think you are all pretty awesome.

O.K. peeps. Ross blew and head gasket and threw a rod, maybe even spun a bearing.
I only want those who complained to Cooker and Hank and not me, to understand that unless you tell me about your dismay (More then 1 of you) on something like this, I'm not likely going to take any action. It depends on the circumstances at hand.
I'm ashamed that some of you feel that I'm impartial. I try to be as fair as possible to everyone when I can be. I'm only an alien and have feelings too, just as you do. I've made mistakes in the past and have learned from them. I try not to repeat them. All I'm saying is, please don't sit back and say nothing to me about something that's bothering you. I will fix it the best way I can. I can't read your minds. Mental telepathy is not part of my make up.
Hank says I'm taking this all too personally. I guess I am. I do have to say it hurt and I'm still licking my wounds. You all know, or should know, that my main concern is the smooth running of the this place. If you feel something can be improved or needs fixed, PLEASE let me know. By doing what was done here has left me wondering how many of you really think you can't talk to me. It doesn't have to be nor need to be, this way.
Were a group of people with all sorts of different problems, opinions, ideas, etc...Please, lets start over. There is too much divisiveness here and that is one problem I can't fix. I'd like to do that if you'll allow me.
Cooker, I apologize to you for everything. You know I love you like a brother and do not want this to come between us. All I'm asking is that you consider my feelings as I'm considering yours.
