I have to wonder why you have taken such offense...

Not offended. Observant.

IC well, I was earnest in my invitation to come spend a few days, he lives in NC and he has some photography skills, I live in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in what the tourism folks call the land of the waterfalls. It is true that I do not talk politics too much outside of the Attic, there is no gain in it unless you are taking to like minded people and most I know are not up to speed, they are too busy living their lives.

I think that was nice of you to invite. I don't mind talking politics as as long as it can be done in a civil manner.

Talking only to people or going to web sites who agree with me makes me weak. Diversity in data and view points leads to a healthier intellect just as biological diversity leads to healthier genetics. I will take a rescued mutt over a pure bred dog any day.

I tell you what, you are in the research triangle, maybe next spring you may want to throw some camera gear in your car and come over here and spend a few days shooting. I have a full apartment downstairs for guests, living room, bed, full kitchen, full bath, there is only one requirement that I have of my liberal friends while visiting, political discussions are off limits.

Thank you for your offer but respectfully decline.

I find that passions flare, my behavior here is far different than it is in my daily life and you may think that shows immaturity, but, you and I have both been here for years, we both know that little more than insults go back and forth here in the Attic, this is not a forum where an adult conversation can be had. I try not to have too many political discussions in my personal life because the hatred of Trump is so strong and the contending attitude towards those who supported him by the other side make congenial conversations a bit difficult.
