Thank you for a patient and civil reply. There are others on this thread who cannot do that.

I will agree that what Registered did crossed the line, even if the info was publically accessible. As someone else said, I wouldn't want my info posted.

But I was on that thread too and I saw the rudest behavior from the hardcore Bush supporters. Registered was pretty much dared to do it, IMO. Nevertheless, he should have restrained himself.

This thread is quickly turning into a name calling flame war, as most threads do that are even remotely critical of Bush.

Bush might be better than gore, but he shouldn't be above criticism and people shouldn't get vile personal attacks for expressing disagreement.

"Bush might be better than gore, but he shouldn't be above criticism and people shouldn't get vile personal attacks for expressing disagreement."

True, but if you are being honest you will have to agree that those "vile personal attacks" come from both sides. Just look at this thread here. Nobody's hands are clean.

I guess it's all about perspective. Depends on which dog is yours in the race.

And I'm sorry to disagree with you, but I was on that thread and if there was any baiting done regarding this specific incident, it was by Registered. The subject of voting was being discussed specific to the JW poll. He took it a step too far and once he cools off will probably agree IMHO.

Oh I'll agree that there was another poster that was being mocked. But Reg can carry his own water and bait with the best of them.

Oh, and one more point.

"But I was on that thread too and I saw the rudest behavior from the hardcore Bush supporters."

I think you're misunderstanding here. What you saw on that thread were some hardcore Bush supporters. But what you saw more of is hardcore Larry dissenters. The two are not mutually inclusive.

Just for the record.

Or support, right?

Bravo kcpopps! I guess it isn't allowed on FR anymore. Its Bush or nothing. I'm seriously thinking of choosing nothing. This site used to be fun, interesting, and thought provoking. It seldom is anymore. I thought it was about truth...apparently there are Republicans who consider truth to be obsolete, as their Dim counterparts do. Sad. [
