    It's definitely not worth losing members. I was curious to explore this option on this site. I think the overwhelming consensus is that it would not be a good idea.

    Happy New Year, IMPress Polly. Hope you are well.

    I disagree with your claim to be one of our "less popular members" @IMPress Polly , your threads sometimes go up in flames faster than the California countryside.

    Besides, I'm one of your biggest fans.

    Maybe that should tell you something about your posts.

    I think it would be misused.

    If it is just done as an emoticon, how can it be misused?

    People are way overthinking this.

    In the past it was tied to reputation. If it is just an "emoticon" then it really can't be misused.

    I'm okay I guess. Alright honestly I've been better. My mom's not doing that well. But I'll manage. We both will, I hope. It's all good. Thanks for asking. Hope you're doing well!

    I feel that what it actually says is that this is a right wing message board overflowing with rich men (the definition of "rich" for our purposed here is enjoying an annual household income of more than $70,000 a year; that's my definition anyway) twice my age who voted for Trump and still don't regret it.

    There are spaces online where I'm not despised, believe it or not. This just isn't among them.

    You give yourself too much credit. I doubt anyone here despises you. They probably don't think much about you one way or another.
    Your posts however do cause people to notice you, just not so much in the way you would probably prefer.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I'm here if you need an ear. As far as me, I'm fine. Life is life and we either go with the flow or watch as it passes us by.
