Reply #7: I'm not talking about complaints about opposing views. [View All]

There are a number of long-time posters today who are understandably upset about some very offensive posts being made in the past couple of days. Some posts have nothing to do with defending a candidate or positions. They are designed to offend others.

Why anyone thinks that insulting and demeaning others will help their chosen candidate is beyond me. That's why I've concluded that most of them aren't serious about talking about candidates or issues. They're here to cause trouble, period.

I'm saying that the rest of us would do well to ignore obvious troublemakers and obviously insulting posts/threads and work to accentuate positive discourse here. We can be "tough" and strongly defend our candidates and positions without making personal attacks on others.
