I am glad this subject has come up.I find it distrubing that when folks are having a discussion someone always posts that they should stop, as in comments like "why all the fighting","wheres the aloha","panties in a twist" ect...Now its no politics!
Then everyone drops the topic just when it starts to get interesting in fear of upsetting someone.
In all the time I've been on this forum I've never seen a conversation get "out of hand" funny maybe, in a saturday night live kinda way but never really mean and if I don't like a topic I just don't comment.As an adult I do not appreciate being told I should'nt comment the way I want as long as its not truely hurtful.I am going to continue to post how I feel, politics or whatever until I am not allowed and then I will probably just leave as it won't be fun anymore anyway.
Its bad enough were not allowed to talk about politics at work ect... Now on an anonmyous forum its in question.
I am a left leaning moderate and hubby is a right wing extreemist so I definitely need the like minded souls on the forum to converse with and I am sure hubby would not be upset we are talking about his man as he thinks liberals are all crazy anyway lol
.
I know a few lerkers that won't post because folks get so upset over comments. I hope we will not be so thin skinned about others opinions especially when we don't even personally know them. I mean hey, they might actually be real punatics, right oldtimers
