How childish of any one or any group of people to threaten another because of their viewpoint, opinions, or having the guts to "put it out there." I'm an avid, and devoted, reader, and WILL NOT let anyone take that away from me. If I don't agree with something you may have posted, I simply wouldn't read it. I don't sink to the levels of threats, intimidation or verbal attacks. Unfortunately, whomever did this WON, because you're no longer going to put OPINIONS ON YOUR SITE! Go figure; it's your site, no one's paying to subscribe, so I fail to see how anyone feels they have the right to tell you what you can and cannot post. I'm disgusted by my fellow man/woman, and only wish that those people were mature enough to simply not read something if they didn't like it. It shows an incredible amount of cowardice and immaturity to threaten someone over their written OPINION on their own website. I will not stop reading, and no one can make me! Sorry this happened. Tell me, whatever happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH? What have we come to, really, when you, or any one of us, cannot openly and freely express OUR OWN OPINION? How childish of any one or any group of people to threaten another because of their viewpoint, opinions, or having the guts to “put it out there.”

A big problem in our society is fear! That's where personal attacks stem from. Fear of another being right, fear of not knowing enough, etc... Why not listen to a point with an open mind? Argue the points of a discussion don't argue the person themselves. It’s a shame that there can’t be open discussion on a topic without it turning into a personal insult!

I do not want any of you to think I am going to stop writing here as that is certainly not the case. I have too much invested at this point and this is part of how I make my living. I will continue to lightly inject my opinion on the things that matter to me, but will just be trying to avoid a lot of the political talk (even though that is incredibly important to me as well). It's just better that way so my family doesn't feel that they have to look at the site every day to make sure all is good. Again, thanks so much for the support, and onward we go.

Simply put, if she does not have the money, she cannot afford the item. Although Sally is having difficulties obtaining credit, at least she is not surrounded by a houseful of items that are worth a fraction of what they were worth when she bought them.
