Re: GEPRUITT - thanx for the mention - every bit of promotion helps
Gomedome, from the nature and extent of my own many opinions, it should be obvious that I have absolutely no reluctance in stating things as I see them, and I agree completely with your comment. One of the very first things I learned was to have absolutely no "fear" at all of questioning any and all previously held tenets or beliefs. This is, in fact, the only real road to new discovery. WE should never be afraid to doubt.
Thanks again.

GEPRUITT - thanx for the mention - every bit of promotion helps
At one time I was the being blocked champion of Blogit, numbering somewhere around a dozen blocks. I have no idea of an accurate number because of the nature of my being blocked and the very nature of blocking in that there is no notification sent to the blockee. Many blocks are found out by accident, perception or announcement, many are never realized. I can say with some pride that it was never once for my behavior in someone else's comments section. It was always simply because someone didn't like my religious opinion.
So much so that there was a little blocking conspiracy towards me a short while ago (that's how an otherwise nice guy like myself becomes the blocked champion). A friend notified me via email that one blogger had started a silent censure campaign towards me. I went to her blog and did a little research by attempting to comment on those bloggers who were in her little clique, most of whom I had never had dialogue with, some I did not know at all. I was blocked by all of them, the majority of which I had never commented to.
There is a point to this long comment, at the beginning of this post you suggest that I say I have extensive experience with being blocked in a matter of fact manner, this is an astute observation. It can only be matter of fact, while considering that we all have the right to utilize Blogit and our time here as we see fit, I cannot muster any other reaction at all to people that act this way. Except maybe a little disappointment in their childishness.
