(139 posts)Muriel will correct me if I'm wrong. Muriel is a more experienced member in this forum. As a new person here my reading is Muriel was trying to help you and some of our newer members reading this thread to understand this isn't a free speech zone to help keep the new members here straight. Although I can accept for sure that coming from the Daily Kos or the Nation or the Wall Street Journal, people would feel shell shocked but DU is a much nicer community. I think our new members have found a great home here with a bunch of really nice people who are always willing to extend themselves to help new members out so you don't have any problems here. Maybe she didn't agree with everything you said but hey, wouldn't it be boring if we all agreed on everything.
I think being able to have polite disagreements adds value to our experience here.
I think you will find the British have a great sense of humor about everything except when it comes to the football rivalry between Arsenal and Man Utd. That is on a different page altogether. (humor)
