Ok, I was not going to chime in either but after reading a few of these posts I can't help myself. I COULD have been offended by Beth's comment about religious rhetoric crammed down throat ...BUT I am completely over it I am NOT writing this post because I am offended it. I am using it only to make a point. My point is we have no idea who is on the receiving end of our comments. Maybe we should all think before we start typing, no doubt we are a mixed group of who knows what all.. grandmothers, grandfathers, parents, children, Conservatives, liberals, students, retired folks, favorite child, black sheep, religious, atheists...you never know who is going to take something the wrong way. why not just focus on the subject that brought us together here and try to let everything else go. I read things I don't like and delete them and forget them, I don't a thing about Beth so I do not take offense to what she says at all because I don't know her. I am sure she is a fine person a! s is everyone on the list but Genealogy should be the hot topic here maybe we can back to some day.
