That was what I had thought the group was about (silly me).

There's certainly nothing wrong with that. We all have differing likes and
dislikes. IME, life is better when one simply accepts that other people
are different (as you seem to have done).

I have to admit, I'm a bit testy this morning. (The daughter caught a
nasty stomach bug at work (she's medical staff at a nursing home) and none
of us got much sleep last night.) So, I may have been overly sensitive and
less polite than I would like in a couple of messages.

I do owe an apology to a couple of friends who used to post here, though.
I thought they were overstating the level of hostility which *some* of the
people here exhibit. Now, having said that, I'll also say that I don't
think the group as a whole nor even a high proportion of the people here
are anything but positive contributors.
