Your time and those who wish to partake would be better served by understanding what civil discourse and discussion actually is.

I disagree that simply by being a public figure you are " fair game for derision". You surely are fair game for criticism but in my USA, it is done with some civility and respect that your opinion IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.

And you say "We can abide by standards as we are adults". Obviously our definition of ADULTS differs. I know of NO ADULTS who call public figures by name, and as you see this as YOUR forum, others read it..not just you and perhaps your cronies. This forum is losing posters and readers as a result of this kind of NON ADULT activity.

Again, you should enjoy your forum..the way you want it..no thought...no civility and absolutely without a doubt no discussion of ANY PERTINENT political issues that confront the country.
