Softie-Was it the Forum on One-list?

: Everyone, I just wanted to say goodbye. I posted a simple note about an unpleasant experience I had with hand sanitizer, and was attacked on another forum for using the stuff. Apparently I am ignorant of the fact that supergerms and bacteria are caused by people like me using these things. I never intended to start any fights or debate, just wanted to relate an unpleasant happening. But the idea that I am going to be attacked for doing something someone else doesn't believe in, or care to find out why I do what I do before mounting his attack, well, I can't and will not stomach it. I surf the net to alleviate geographical isolation and for entertainment, not to start or participate in fights, which I apparently have done today. If the thing is not entertaining or stress-relieving, then it is not worth doing. So I'm outta here, as they say.

: In the meantime, thanks everyone for the advice, encouragement, conversation, and everything else.
