Unfortunately, I have no control over the language of some posters or the way in which they or others choose to engage. The fact that we may be on the same side of the political spectrum does not make us clones of one another nor does it mean that I support their approach in "discussing" things. It is not my personality, generally speaking, to call out people on their actions and behaviors, although I have done it on a few occasions, even on here. Judging people in the past has not always worked out well for me so I try to avoid doing that as much as possible. My approach is to try to look at people beyond their language, their demeanor, to a heart in the midst of it all. I've said it many times before that there is good in bad in everyone. I try to look for the good and overlook the bad as much as humanly possible. It doesn't always work though and when I feel wrongfully attacked I will speak up. I guess I need to do a better job in sticking up for others as well.
I do have to make a suggestion regarding your post and that is to quit labeling......alt right, etc. To me that sets the tone of a post and is going to set off some posters right from the get-go. Otherwise, I do believe you have been unfairly attacked and maligned on multiple occasions. I will have to try to be more diligent in noticing and pointing these instances out, I guess, although I'm not sure how much my opinion is going to matter.
Thanks for the response to my post. I hope I answered your questions.

Thanks for responding.
My labeling, and as an aside...similar to the general labeling of ALL PROGRESSIVES, ALL DEMOCRATS, ETC., none of which apply to me but nonetheless thrown at me..well the labeling of alt right, white nationilist extremist is simply because the language used by the most belligerent posters, and the trolls is almost right out of the handbook. The names they call, the labels they use are related to groups exposing those movements. Add to the facts, we have had posters on here refer to websites featuring those views. One prolific poster, I believe is not even in this country..have tried to call him on it because of the public hearings that spelled out how foreign use forums like this.
My label was one of conclusion, hopefully as a result of my investigating terms etc.
What I and others are labeled simply because we do not share the joy of actions by the current administration, are not determined by knowing anything, nor are the terms anything but street obscenity.
It is just tiring to come on here and becsubject to such extreme vulgarity, extreme labeling based on nothing.
I will stop there, but thanks again for responding, but I needed to educate myself a bit, listen to testimony an facts on foreign intervention, learn what terms being used in here mean, etc.
Some on here are simply mean spirited, cruel and stupid.
My sensitivity to your "lecture" was because I interpreted it as "blessing" those who never are called on juvenile beviir.
I am no saint, never even hinted, but I do have a respect for truth and for moral behavior. I thus found being lectured while the immoral, crass, lewd posters are validated at the same time just annoys me.
You attacked COLDNOMORE last eve, but wonder if you have seen the language imposed on him...why ? He had the audacity to criticize Trump. He and I disagree politically on issues, but agree on our feelings on Trump and thus I feel empowered to speak on his behalf.
