I have strong opinions, but have tried not to call anyone vicious names, except in an effort to shut down their hate. AND THAT WAS WRONG TO DO.
Way back, a sharing of thoughts took place. No longer.
I believe it should be closed down. I certainly will GUARANTEE this time, I am done.
Some are coming on here to simply spread hate, and that is just scary.
To the Admin...thanks for the effort. Good luck to all, and to those who think this is false, I can only say...goodbye and good luck.
My wish for everybody is that they read a lot ON BOTH SIDES, and not just one, and that we all brush up on our comprehension skills. I also hope freedom for those, on both sides of the aisle, who are so party oriented it has trapped them and disallowed growth outside what a few wish you to think
I have been on here since 2007, and actually will miss it, but there is enough hate in the world without being exposed to more on a local forum with neighbors.

Please refrain from the tactics that got the original political forum shut down....i.e. shut it down because.....
There just happens to be a few that are contrarian about anything and everything that is stated in opposition to what the support. Those few are nasty, inconsiderate and are noteworthy for their personal attacks and NEVER EVER addressing the subject being discussed.
This is a 100% opt in situation with a second layer of anonymity to protect users from harassment.
If you opted in and you do not like what is being said, the solution is not to shut it down. That is exactly the problem in America today the few antagonists scare away some ent folks who mean well (I think).
But to take away a forum that lets most of us try to discuss current events that will affect our lives now and in the future is only playing into the monority (not race) and partisan radicals who revel in disruption and cause people like you to throw in the towel. That is a win for them and a loss to the majority.
Just opt out or better yet, stay and participate and just learn to ignore the hate catharsis of the few.
