During the elections I visited Political quite a bit and added comments and felt the disagreements had more of a civil tone. Recently many issues discussed turned into an Obama bashing or unfortunately a bashing of the poster with an opposing opinion (like what was happening to Cologal). I agree with Red, and I think she clearly stated some of the issues some of us had about the former Political site. I honestly felt afraid to post any opinion for fear of getting a bashing too.
