Personally, I want to have discussions with people I disagree with. I want to learn why they believe what they believe, I want people to challenge my views and beliefs. I have no use whatsoever with immature posts ridiculing and calling names. I will admit on occassion I get annoyed and post a sarcastic post that could be interpreted as ridicule, but I try not to.
So, I am glad we can disagree publically. I wish we could have a section for political discussions/arguments, which you have to join and agree to whatever to participate in, but I expect that is not going to happen.
And while I am an evil bleeding heart liberal, I have met several conservatives here that I highly respect both for their civility and for the well reasoned and well-spoken arguments.

Well said (written). I too believe we are missing a valuable part of civilization when we cannot discuss differing opinions in a reasonable manner. Cancel culture will destroy our democracy IMO because only the prevailing opinion (true or not) will be accepted.
I hope we can keep the lively debate ongoing. And I am an independent conservative, but was raised by rabid bleeding-heart liberals so I know how to break bread with anyone. Peace.
