It is worth giving Tucker a chance, that same chance you give to a family member who has been rabid anti-Trump, and yet is asking you questions now -- do you cast them aside or offer a hand. We as humans have an amazing super power, we can change ourselves, sometimes we need help doing it, or we need an event in our lives to shatter the illusionary walls we have set up which enable forward movement. In this day and age, give what this board knows, skepticism rides high and it should. But let us not forget how many have posted here in the last 18 months about how they changed, we applaud them and welcome them into the fold but we aren't allowed to give someone like Tucker a little bit of a chance to do likewise?

Some people will probably never change or see the light (cough Tim), but extending the hand of fellowship to someone who realizes finally things aren't what they thought they were is another story. Do we hold a person in the same perspective permanently or do we allow them to grow? People make mistakes but we need to afford them the right to correct them. Trust is earned obviously, and usually in small steps, so be skeptical of Tucker but at least give him the opportunity.

John Newton was a horrible human being, a slave trader, murderer, not someone who you would want to be friends with. This man had something remarkable happen to him and he changed, you might be familiar with a little hymn he wrote after changing his life and becoming a preacher........"Amazing Grace"

Anyone can change, given the right opportunity, having their eyes opened, and having the desire.
