I don't think I will be looking at the cesspool of the Political Forum any more. It is difficult for me to accept or understand how grown people can be so nasty and disrespectful of each other, as is evidenced in that forum.
Seldom do the exchanges address the point of the threads, but rather they immediately descend into the nastiness of personal attacks and vilification that would surely call for fist fights if such insults were to be uttered in person.
The depth of undisguised racism of one poster in particular is breathtaking. In another case three or more posters take constant shots at one particular poster who is sensitive to criticism, knowing that they are inflicting emotional pain. And, they brag about being "men" and criticize anyone who can't "take it." They are cowards and bullies.
I intend to stay away from the Dark Side, preferring to look at the moderated forums where people are, in the main, trying to be helpful to others, with constructive posts containing useful information to others.
There is still room for differences of opinion in the moderated forums, but personal attacks and insults are subject to deletion. It's a better system.

Well my friend I respect your opinion and your decision. However in my view when intelligent and serious people like you walk away then the dubious ,bad and ignorant not only win, but more like them fill the vacuum.
Facts clearly speak for themselves. People are quite aware of who the bad actors are on political Talk. Political debate is essential and its quite clear there is a radical segment in our society that is bent on its destruction.
I am not a crusader nor claim higher intelligence or the higher moral ground. In all I have ever done it has been primarily with commitment and I am committed to voice not my opposition to but my beliefs in. In doing so I opine and let others decide.
You and others will be sorely missed .
