I've got something to say/Mods. :)

I don't believe anyone is going to ask you to leave Jessica, so be of good cheer.

As a moderator and someone who appreciates this forum as an open and free expression of differing thoughts and opinions, as well as a nice example of freedom of expression as delineated by our first amendment rights, I am somewhat abashed that you felt that other members of this forum are making you self conscious enough to seek to explain and justify your posts.

Certainly I have never felt compelled to do something similar, nor would I ever, even in the face of others' dissaproval, censorship, or negative judgment of my character.

I will not patronize others by apologizing for their posts, or seeking to explain or rationalize their points of view, either good or bad, whether I agree or disagree.

However, I will say that as far as I am concerned, you have certainly not posted in any way that warrants any degree of justification (unless you so desire) or in a way that deserves censure.

So hopefully this thread will end any further debate or discussion that you believe may be impugning your character, motivations, or identity.
