I have an issue with self-righteousness. Perhaps that's the real issue here. Anyway, the feedback I have received has made me feel better...
You also should look at the flip side. Though this forum is anonymous, the member questioned my character in front of others rather than take...
I am not charging anything for this contest. It is free, and I will pay all shipping. The winner gets a generic, circulated Peace dollar. I...
