You forgot to mention that the bad reputation and shooting from the hip and bad mouthing and name calling were all to the credit of a very few. The other 98% of us where adult enough to handle a discussion.
The 2% plus those who were against anything political would constantly badger the admin with complaints. And for some who have suggested making it private or sign in....IT WAS. Those who complained the loudest had to OPT IN to be able to lurk and then complain.
Please remember it was a very few who baited and set out to disrupt the many. You know like per usual!
