Generally, you are given a welcome. As for relevance to discussions, the U.S. Department of Justice and F.B.I. are also being made to feel welcome. Right, things, first. Just as it is found in the United States Constitution.
Lively discourse is not possible inside of an environment that holds such innate hostility to all forms it holds hostile. Self-interest seems to be so much of the environment of which these things happen. It is quieting.
There is nothing lively about those who must harass the work God gave to compose, as in less than 5 minutes, without a thought of the next words to be, the audacity of selfishness to mock the order of God's giving.
