My dear GuestGrace,

I have come to highly regard this forum, blog or whatever you want to call it. It is a real "noisy public square" where anything goes. I have been entertained and educated by many of the regulars here.

I have also called more than one a less than cordial name and have been called a few un-cordial names myself...

I can think of many things that I can be called, but I am at a loss to be contemplated as a "hater". I'd appreciate sharing some depth of thought on how you conclude that I am a hater.

All I think is that a North Carolina native would be a better choice than a recent transplant to represent this district in the House.
