An advantage we had then ws to be able to utilize the ignore feature of the site (which we cannot do today).
While I cannot speak from personal experience some posters did go after other posters via private messaging....another reason for the all "guest" format of today.
And speaking from experience, there will always be rabble rousers and baiters and plain old nasty folks on most sites. Fortunately they are in the minority.
Unfortunately that minority disrupts the total and gets far more attention than warranted.
In today's political forum the best tool for the aggravators is to either not engage with them or totally ignore them.

This was the title and the message of the OP
Liberals are smater
I have been reading about the connection between Higher intelligence and liberal thinkers. Everything points toward liberals being in the group with the highest IQ. It does make sense and I can see where having a higher understanding of not only yourself, but of others around you would cause you to be more liberal. If you don't have the ability to analyze all aspects of a situation thoroughly, you would more likely fall into a more primitive mode of self protection at all cost. Hence studies indicate that the high level thinkers tend to be liberal.

There are 4 pages of of posts. Both sides of the topic is discussed but not a singe insult like you see now, absolutely no vulgarity and no threats. You can find it and read it. I'm seeing everything. Nothing or no one is blocked.
Do you think it's a sign of the times? We hear it all the time. People are angry.
[ps The OP even spelled smater wrong. He was teased a little but lightheartedly.]
