If you had read my post, you'd know I stated the level of vitriol on many primary threads is the highest I've seen in thirteen years on this board. I didn't say we've never experienced this before on FR....we have, but not to this extent.

According to your way of thinking, nasty name-calling, vile words, harrassing and personal attacks on other freepers (those comments that don't bother with addressing the issues) are okay with you....in fact, we should LOVE these low-life words and phrases because, according to you, "they open so many OPPORTUNITIES for us to....".....well, to do something or other that's supposed to be beneficial in your eyes....... I don't know quite what. I'm still wracking my brain.

However, you're entitled to your ethics-neutral views no matter how vicious the personal warfare is. I pointed out the ugly phenomenom being perpetrated by some freepers who will post ANYTHING that comes out of their feverish grey cells...and that's that.

Eagles Up!

I was disagreeing with that. I think the vitriol has been this bad before.

-- "they open so many OPPORTUNITIES for us to....".....well, to do something or other that's supposed to be beneficial in your eyes....... I don't know quite what. --

Independent research. Looking things up, digging for more detail, seeking "the truth."

Hotly contested statements and positions spark my curiosity.

-- However, you're entitled to your ethics-neutral views no matter how vicious the personal warfare is. --

I suggest that you do not know what my views are. I am confident in that, as my views are about as far from ethics neutral as one can find.

-- I pointed out the ugly phenomenom being perpetrated by some freepers who will post ANYTHING that comes out of their feverish grey cells...and that's that. --

As if the vitriol isn't obvious without being pointed out!

Anyway, I agree with the general observation that the level of vitriol is high. I make value judgments against the posters who engage in it.
