I know how you feel!
I myself have posted opinion or humor in different situations and have been slammed horribly lately (but i don't mix opinion w/humor cuz I don't think some could decipher it) so now I have limited myself to logging out and lurking for fun or intresting post if something really hits home (like your post) then I log on and rant like I am now . Hopefully we all will get out of this rut and start posting fun good topics don't get me wrong there r a few out there still .
