But if you choose to join in political discussions you need to grow a thicker hide.

Tal seems to garner a bit of ridicule in many of his posts..whether political or not. It seems posters have tired of his redundant recitation of his life experiences and discussions of his life long project. I've never met a Legal Librarian who isn't a bit "quirky". Nothing wrong with his quirkiness but I'm sure he gets under some people's skin and they are going to lash out.

As I said before....if you want to discuss hot button issues, don't complain when it gets into a gutter fight.

And all the law librarians I have met are also a bit strange. Probably because we do not really fit in with lawyers nor with librarians.

I have a thick hide. It is the stalking harassers that cross the line probably of legality too as there are laws against online abuse. If one or worse a group of people start verbally abusing someone they deliberately target on the TOTV Political Boards that's a big problem.

Something I can't believe is that you repeatedly defended the person that called for the assassination of the sitting President.

I did too because I know her. That isn't her at all.

Why would a private person post all the personal things on totv?

I do not know her. She was being ganged up on by people on the Political Board.

I wanted to find out why she allegedly wrote that. People can quote people incorrectly and frequently it seems do add in names to those they quote. I usually have wackadoodle added.

I do not know you so I am not going to say anything more about why I post stuff on TOTV. You have 23 posts. You could be anyone.

Words do matter a great deal.

I agree. I respect your opinion about people Graciegirl. She seemed out of sorts.

This thread is now closed. Despite the title, it is entirely about the Political Forum. Moderators aggressively remove any posts in the main forums that are directed at another member or are inappropriate. Spillover into the main forums is one of the primary reasons the old Political Forum was closed. When the forum was reinstated, it was to be unmoderated and members could enter the forum at their own risk.

When you sign in to TOTV you can avoid political forum threads by clicking on New Posts. If you click on Today's Posts, political threads will appear. Members should also look under UserCP to see if they have at any time subscribed to or joined the Political Forum. They can opt out if they wish.
