Not in the least I care who likes me or not. There are people from the forums I'm close with and I care about and they are part of my reality too. And if I ever mention the dislikes it is purely because the amount of effort and time some people put into showing their hate is absolutely amazing. Stunning persistence and devotion...wasted in the wrong place.
Being liked/disliked only affects you if you let it, one time it was all I cared about but these days I just don't care anymore and I'm happier because of it. Besides, if someone dislikes you, they are obviously not compatible with you and its better to know that as soon as possible. Its those who pretend to like you when they backbite who are the worst.

rohaan: One of our librarians here on the coast just got back from Northern Ireland...I told her about you...she visited Belfast, Derrie, and other towns. It must be just wonderful to go to the country, see the hills, flowers, fresh air, etc...We have a very nice region here, as well.
Nice, I'm a city boy, but get out to the coast to chill, when the weather is good there's no place like it.. I hope you told her good things about me..
Well, again let me be the honest one who'll admit I'd like to be 'loved' by everyone. But I've come to accept I must settle for less than that. Exactly what it is that devide us I dont know. Is it Trump? Maybe that and then some.

Yes, I told her you're the nicest scoundrel and rake I've ever known.....
...you can thank me later. S'my birthday, laddie...

Your post resonates with me Grand.
When I joined CS in 2006 people hated me for about three months. My name was Snuggles and it was really a representation of who I was. A member named Vinny defended me against the haters and eventually they learned that I wasn't a troll or an instigator for a fight. I wrote a lot of threads and responded to just as many from others and felt respected. All that changed when Facebook was born. Many CS members left and went to FB. And it got worse when Obama was running for president. There was so much hate on here that the moderators were constantly scolding people who didn't behave. Fights broke out everyday.
The air wasn't so pleasant around here not only for me but it seemed everyone.
You asked "what divides us". Difference of opinion is what divides us. People don't want to debate. They want to give their opinion and insist that they are right. When that happens a thread gets out of hand, someone goes to jail, the thread might be pulled and that's the end of what might have been a good conversation.
Trump used to be the cause of fights but in my opinion I don't think he matters anymore. And that leads me to ask......

What does matter to the CS members ?
I never realised way back when you were Snuggles that people hated you. Bless Vinny. He was so nice and so much fun
