I wish you were joking too. Also wish that more people would speak out about CPS. I tried to but started receiving veiled threats. People were afraid to get involved. I could see it in their faces. The only 2 people who backed me & agreed that CPS has big problems with not doing anything, were 2 state/local Republican politicians. The one (Govs office)said, he'd been fighting for kids for 3 decades & gotten no where. Despite support from 2 politicians, I couldn't find 1 person brave enough to join me in forming a concerned citizens group to HELP these kids somehow. Our youth, our future, our everything....heartbroken. The Libs always said that the Republicans don't care about kids. I saw who did & didn't care. Thanks for your comment, @CrazyInAnInsaneWorld

Thanks for the input. As an aside, when you're replying directly to a person's comment, you don't need to tag them with @, because the system will notify them of the comment response, anyways, independent of the tag. The reason I tagged you in the above comment was because it's bad form to talk about others and what they've said without giving them a chance for input, almost like the digital equivalent of talking behind someone's back. It's unnecessary, when you're replying directly to the person.
Just a bit of info for you, in case you were unaware. :)

I just tagged you because you tagged me. :) Thanks for the help & advice, tho. I am pretty new here. I came here because of the severe censorship imposed on us by all other sites during the election. As an (older) American, I'm used to being able to voice my opinion freely BUT things are changing rapidly and we're no longer able to speak freely(online) without being trolled, attacked, shadow banned, outright banned & or censored/comments removed. I didn't realize there were so many other rules here but daily someone tells me of rules or voat traditions, I'm violating or doing wrong. I try to respect others & not break rules or traditions. I will always appreciate those who have good intentions. I won't tag anyone, anymore.
