Well written. I happen to disagree with you btw.

Your father should have told you that if you don't have a thick skin, you should not be frequenting FR.

it's amazing to me how quickly some of the forums degenerate so quickly into derision, name calling, and rhetoric.

You should have been here five years ago. "Derision, name calling, etc." were the nicer exchanges on this board. (And no, I won't list any monikers).

Welcome to FR.

One other thing....Republicans are going to have to learn a lesson from the dems....they have to learn to circle the SUV's and stop eating each other alive. I believe the phrase is United we stand. Just my thought.

If you want to see 'discourse' that'll peel paint, visit Democratic Underground. People here are downright genteel compared to them. I can see why the left is against guns: they'd kill each other in a minute if they were armed.

On the Rantings

Your comments are good.
Don't let the rantings and ravings bother you (much).
Most of us arrive at the keyboard at the end of a tough day and after a sip or two
of wine to relax...well, in vino, veritas.
And sometimes we're not delicate enough when dispensing the truth (as we see it).

Stick around...you're gonna' love some of the "I'm sorry" or "I was incorrect"
apologies.
Unlike most of the Democratic playgrounds, we've got enough ego-strength
(and from many, sufficient humility) that we can survive the dust-ups.

As I come up to speed in this medium, however, it's amazing to me how quickly some of the forums degenerate so quickly into derision, name calling, and rhetoric.

Every so often Freeper Hurricanes will blow through over certain issues with lots of bloodletting and casualties (banned/suspended accounts). Like tropical depressions you can see some of them coming from a long way out.

Good post. I agree. Fellow Minnesotan.

FYI--You probably should include the word (vanity) in the title of threads like this in the future, just so people know that you wrote it, it's your opinion, you're not posting some outside news article, etc.

Well, now I have to admit that I only got as far as the categories, and skipped over your personal bio; please accept my apologies; I agree with your post. Well said (as I wipe egg off my face)
