Ruby, Even though we have more in common than you will ever know, it's unlikely that we will ever be friendly. You post often so it's hard to avoid your interactions with others. I have seen you refer to me too often here in various negative ways. The worst is when you call me a racist. Oh, you don't name me, that's true, but we both know who you are talking about when you bring up (once again!) that racist person you gave you a hard time when you first got here. I especially appreciated when you put up your "stop racism" avatar during our time of disagreement.

Just recently when one of your friends called republicans "scumbags" and I took offense (complained), your answer to admin was that you expected that and we should just all admit to ourselves we are all racists.

It's so easy (not to mention irresponsible) to bandy around that "racist" slur but I want to make something clear to you.

Sometimes people might just have a problem with you for something (like calling her room idea stupid) that has nothing whatsoever to do with how much melanin you have in your skin.

If you can ever find your way to apologize for that, we might be able to have a real conversation some day, which would sure be an improvement on this.
