There seem to be two camps.... Those who want a serious discussion of issues and those who enjoy mud slinging, name calling, baiting, etc. We will never please all of you in our moderation of this forum.

I've had posts deleted that had nothing to do name calling but addressed the deletions. Those were deleted as being "off topic".
Some I've had deleted began when someone could no longer debate my points and addressed me personally. I don't mind, but I usually respond, albeit with less vulgarity. It always pleases me when my "opponent" runs out of ideas and resorts to the personal comment. It used to be that I could respond to that, as long as I didn't get vulgar. Times have changed
