I apologize if anyone here thought that I posted this to annoy or provoke people of any belief. I promise you that was not my intention. I value all my pixies friends and have no desire to hurt or antagonize anyone. I admire the incredibly passionate, intelligent, and articulate responses the pixies have to every topic under the sun and thought this post and the even more bizarre "Pornographers for Kerry" website would have people here putting in their two cents (or more's) worth.

I have discussed politics in IM chat with many of my pixies buddies from both sides of the aisle and have found the people here to be gracious, accepting, and open-minded. It was a mistake for me to post this in an open forum to be read by people who have not agreed to talk with me about the election though, and for that error of judgement I apologize.

And Lilith, if you or any of the other mods would care to remove this thread because of the hurtful effect it may have caused to some of my friends here, I would completely understand.

Love and peace to all,
Rick
