I enjoy a lively discussion, but if it gets angry or degenerates to being personally denegrating - I'm out of there! We do have to pick and choose the information we accept, the people we are going to be close to and the attitude we bring to the list. I'm keeping my membership, staying on the list, going to the nationals, enjoying friends and keeping my dogs. Nastiness and fighting is only a minor inconvenience I choose to ignore!
