Pauline, some of the posters that you may feel are antagonistic towards you are actually acting in your interests by warning you that some of your comments made on a public forum may have serious consequences for you. Comments such as your passion etc, should such consequences ensue, would not constitute justification. Perhaps these posts should be heeded, taken on board and accepted in the spirit in which they are meant?

It is quite true that a poster previous to you did bring up the subject first, but the wording of that particular post could, in my opinion, be interpreted in a myriad of ways.
