I joined this forum to get away from the news but that hasn't worked out so well

I foolishly click on some of the threads and find myself under attack for my differing opinion. I can handle it but I am somewhat surprised and disappointed by some of the attitudes of seniors and baby boomers here. I don't know why I should be but just am.
It won't deter me though to continue to pop onto the forum when I'm procrastinating, like I am now. After this post I am just going to make this a "spectator sport" and just hit the like button and stick to the cat, dog and word game threads
