Thank you, Neil; that appears to be an important downside of Facebook and its ilk -- it becomes an echo chamber that merely increases the intolerance level of its circle for opinions differing from those of the group. Because it is beyond arms' length, the tone deteriorates as well; not only are you wrong but you're a bad person as well.
I do hope you will read my posts here; I have about 90 of my essays posted and a few hundred more to post as I have time -- I'm rather prolific :). Please, if you agree, do recommend me to other readers, like-minded and otherwise as well. I'm quite tolerant.
