I missed some of those fractious days, but learned early on there were some people here who - like on FB, etc. - just want to start a fight or who get nasty if they disagree with someone. I blocked one or two. As Kabu said, it's better now.

Re: Kabu
I got here early as well... October 2002... and I remember the battle of words. Oh, boy, do I remember them.
Sadly, it started a habit that I really, really need to break. I looked at virtually everything, but I stopped posting comments. I wanted no part of the flame wars. I still run through at least every other day and take a look at things, but I fail to comment—the ol' 'once burned, twice scared' biz. If you weren't here for those, you missed some very uncivil days. I would stay away for weeks and months but always came home.
I have a lot going on in my life, 98% of which is all good. With this new contract with a real publishing company where I am not paying thousands of dollars upfront. If a company wants $5,000-12,000, you are getting screwed. I just paid $350 for a new cover. Art design is expensive. But I didn't pay a dime for anything else. I am bound to write two more 45,000+ stories before Christmas. I can do that. I have a house that is still in desperate need of repair. It has come a long, long way, but that's why I got it for 15% of what it was worth.
I also have a wife who wants (and I want) in my life at nearly every step. She keeps me young. She encourages me when I have to have all of these cancer treatments. I need her in my life, or my life isn't worth living. There are days when I don't want to get IVs of poison pumped in me or cancers burned off me. But Lisa keeps hitting me with a cattle prod to keep me going. I am thankful for her being in my life.
I will try to be here more, I promise.

The biggest reason why I am on blogit and have been for years and intend to stay here. it is a dusty little corner of the Internet and I feel safe with everyone here these days. years go there were blogit wars but those days are long gone.
