I'm on a quest. The quest is to be involved in meaningful discussions
regarding a subject of much interest to me: abortion. I had hopes when I
came across this net, but that is diminishing.

Now I can take a lot of abuse. I am not a stranger to garbage being slung
at me. Lord knows this happens enough in day to day living. I can let it
roll off like water on a duck's back, with my ire not increasing a notch.
What a person, whom I'll never meet, thinks about me personally means very
little.

What I can't take is the waste of time.

I'm sure a lot of you must feel the same way. If people on this net can't
respond to ideas and opinions per se with out badmouthing the one
advancing that opinion, ... well, I guess its been just an experience I'll
chalk up and I'll continue my quest elsewhere.
