She's right, ya know.
Here's the bottom line, guys:
I kinda have my doubts if there's many (if any) one of us who knows someone else in this forum on a personal level (ie: in the "real world"). If so, I don't believe those individuals have tipped their hats per that assumption to the group.
That said, the anonymity makes it all too easy to remain hidden, and thus, slam the other guy over and over again. So many hit and run attacks....if you think about it, we've become desensitized to it in some strange way.
I'd wager a few shekels that if we (hypothetically) had the opportunity to debate the issues one-on-one or as a group...
In Person...we'd hear anything remotely close to the level of vitriol we regularly read in here.
Too be honest I have a great deal of respect (for the opinions) of a number of contributors here...on both sides of the political spectrum for that matter. It's quite evident there are more than a few learned people here.
So, in closing, shouldn't bright, educated people conduct themselves with a higher level of decorum and civility than what we regularly see in here? We really should not need warnings from a Mod...who so eloquently reminded us she has a pussy (yum)...to clean this up.
I think it can take place if everyone simply decides to take it upon themselves to make that happen. We might be surprised at the results.
