Thanks, Mike. I think it's a personal prejudice against me on some unknown individual's part, someone I may have rubbed the wrong way on one of the threads. It's a spite vote. Maybe the pluses and minuses should show the person's name, the way Facebook shows who did the liking.

Thank you for your positive response to restore balance. I consider that people's votes here say more about them than about me. How they react to me reflects their own mindset, what Rand called sense of life. She also disdained people's craving for the approval of others. Sad to say, in today's society the acceptance by others can be a necessity for survival.
