No one is forcing anyone to post there. If a subject is better served by attentive responses, we now have a place to post. For wild west posting, the main is still open.

You are right. It is seldom the subject that causes me concerns. It is the crude and obscene language and moronic insults toward all those who do not agree. Personally, I would always prefer a well presented, logical argument against my position to a swear word, sexual obscenity filled agreement with my point of view. Even though I often think to myself in significant swear words, I choose not to use that language in public. I reserve that language for the deer when they ruin the vegetable garden I have spent months tending.

I have no interest in your impressions, your clothing, your gutters or your closeted cocoon of safety.

Your lack of civility is evident. Slinging impotent insults while retreating backwards belies the courteous behavior you claim.

You are wasting the time of those who actually discuss political issues openly without fear of encountering opposing opinions.

Thank you for allowing me to claim at least my own impressions. My option to avail myself of the offerings provided by our host is not yours to determine nor even legitimately to criticize.

It's not mandatory that you post in the new venue. No one is chastising you for your aversion to focused debate and you are perfectly free to associate with or encourage any level of expression you care to, but your preferences convey no obligation on others, me included.

Mark my words sir.

I will NEVER, EVER use invite only.

And with all due respect, it is my opinion that any MAN, that uses it, has become a victim of the wussification of America.

I appreciate your stance on full freedom of speech, but with that said it's been my experience that it is much more difficult in patience and fortitude to stay on course speaking respectfully or just congenially to another when they're shooting vile insults, not to mention it k**ls the topic/discussion and I suppose that is their true overall intention. It is the weak who throws the first insult, jmo. After that it's pretty much game on.

Things would not go very far if these mud slingers were face to face!

If we just act as if we are all in room having a discussion, there would be a lot less mud, but maybe more confusion!

I agree, understandable people want to let off steam, somehow they think that's a green light to use people as their personal dump truck. It's one thing to curse a situation or actions and another to have a character assignation.

JW,

You have come full circle. 360.

I do not care where you post.

I did not yesterday, nor will I tomorrow.

Carry on.
