With all due respect, I think that you're seeing the past with rose-colored glasses. I certainly recall instances of you feeling extremely unwelcome and storming out. I've also read much of the stuff you're referring to in the Politics thread and, while there are some people who are consistently out of line, you frequently perceive malice in routine debates where none exists, and I don't think that anyone is interested in getting you to leave the forum. In fact, I'm pretty sure that most people in that thread appreciate that you are one of the few people who is openly uncertain about issues and willing to consider new viewpoints.
