Speaking for myself, and doubtless many others, I am happy to welcome newcomers to the forum and would like to apologize for what may seem like a harsh rebuff rather than a warm welcome.
Forums, espcially those based on topics which generate passion and strong opinion (such as ours), take on an emotional life of their own. They tend to cycle through periods of infighting, love-ins, dissent and disbelief, groupthink, and other normal human reactions, good andbad. So sometimes they are fun and interesting, sometimes they are boring, sometimes they are nuts, and sometimes they are nasty.
Do recognize that just about everyone here is strongly emotionally vested to the idea of legal and political justice for our bonehead crackhead dunderhead shithead mayor. When our hopes are stirred by the possibility of just desserts, only to be dashed again, things spill over into frustration and even a bit of paranoia. It's quite understandable, and it's part of how people deal.
Please, new members, ride it out. Just as the rest of us are.
