I almost did it again, but I wasn’t logged in. That stopped me. Whew, that was close.  
I offer this thread as a place for Dopers to say whatever the rules allow them, and to do it in a place that won’t feed a troll.  
Kind of like a palate cleanser; or an impartial primal scream friendly location.

Nevermind that troll, don’t respond, say it here instead.

Which will only attract the trolls to this thread. Good thinking.

What do you _mean_ when you repeat these words? You keep saying them but they seem devoid of any meaning.

^^^ When I say them words I mean that even though the person that I am talking to may not have the same opinions and beliefs as me, I still wish them nothing but good things because trust me I sadly have seen a lot of bad and so I don’t wish any bad on anyone.

God bless you always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
