For my 1000th post, let me say I'm impressed with most of the posters here.
I may not agree with everyone on each topic, but most of the debates I've had here have been intelligent, well thought out, and on topic. All have made me think and a couple have changed my mind (not easy to do).

Also, I've never had to block someone nor have I had to report any response. I've been lucky.

So, for post 1000, thanks to all of you for letting me hang out here.

You guys rock!

10. It took me a long time
However the oil spill in the gulf probably generated about half my posts. Living on the Gulf Coast that pissed me off a lot. :hi:

12. I tend to get post spurts during election season but this Libya thing has had my heart and soul.
17k in almost a decade isn't too bad. :D

15. It was bad
It was almost like a depression with impotent rage. Horrible then, still bad now. I still won't stop at a BP store.

16. You could bookmark threads that make you change your mind ...
provided that they change your mind while you're reading them rather than days or weeks later.

11. Weird, I didn't know you only had 1000 posts. Your nick stands out for some reason.
Maybe it's because we're in agreement a lot or maybe it's because basically I tend to be attracted (intelligence-wise) to those who try to be reasonable and try to understand the full breadth of a situation.

14. Flattery will get you everywhere.
:)

I try to be reasonable. However, like I said upstream, the Gulf oil spill had me incredibly emotional and probably accounted for half my posts. Thanks for the words though!

20. It took me about two years
to get to 1000 also. I get suspicious when I see people with over 100 posts and they have only been here a few days or a few weeks. I've never blocked anyone either.
