We weren't doing anything wrong. — Bitter Crank
Ideologically focussed women, or ideologically focussed conservative theists, are probably going to find a lack of like-minded posters disheartening. It can't be helped. — Bitter Crank

Take care not to overrate it. — Sapientia
My unsolicited advice to you is to: take care not to overate your own advice. — ArguingWAristotleTiff
Oh but that's quite impossible, my dear Tiff. — Sapientia
Why not just ask me to leave, Sapientia? — ArguingWAristotleTiff
