Pats2010 and Tal,
The forums are extremely civil and highly informative. 99 & 44/100 % are helpful and courteous. As in all public forums, you may find an occasional sniper or drive-by. Ignored long enough, they go away. The fact that the political forum is an 'Opt-In' forum makes it some place you have to choose to expose yourself to responses to your opinions. If you read the reasonable posts, you will notice they just want claims backed up by reliable FACTS, not just 'talking points'. The anonymity of posting does not give you license to be cruel and demeaning. As the administrators ask of us, Think Face-to-face.
Lou, I don't recall anybody telling you to 'get out and die'. Just supply facts to back up statements. I'm sorry you're feeling 'wounded'.
