Richie is correct. I have complained about personal attacks since I started here rather recently. I may be ridiculed for saying this, and I have lurked before posting, but almost all the personal attacks are from the left side of the aisle. This is not a new phenomenon since I was a member of another political forum long ago.
When one has no reasonable comeback, instead of not posting, they come back with ridicule. It is immature. Of course I may mutter to myself that this so and so is an idiot, but I do not type it on a post.

Please everybody, aim your insults to the people we hire, the politicians. They deserve it.
