Modda, it's me. vBackman. We have got to move on from that deletion. I have no knowledge of what occurred. I was no part of it. I believe you have the right to speak your truth. I rejoice when we find common ground. Even Octavia and I agree...animals are great little people and we love them. Let's get along and celebrate when we agree.
I put together this attached meme to convey how I feel about 'free speech'. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have put my words to it. The deletion of your comment (in which you should have had the freedom to speak your mind) was not of my doing. Let's just move on. I value you as a person and find you very intelligent in many ways. Unfortunately, we don't agree on politics. Let's take the little things that we do agree on and build off of those (although I don't think we will ever be kindred spirits, we can respect each other and rejoice in those moments of agreement).
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it ~~ Evelyn Beatrice Hall
