Stop the infighting

[jsamuel]

They said this, then they said that, blah blah blah...

Geez, everone is attacking everyone else weither it is Bev and Keith or Acivism/Jeff Fisher and Bozos/Pheonix.

JUST STOP IT! This isn't helping anything. We need to coordinate our efforts and stop attacking each other. I don't claim to know when someone is right or wrong, but this fighting has to stop.

Edit: Clarification - We should argue the facts and theories, but not resort to PERSONAL ATTACKS.

1. agreed: peace is always the better solution

[jamboi]

10. Mostly agree. Def. agree on Harris v KO, disagree on Activisms. n/t

[AnIndependentTexan]

14. basically what I mean by peaceful

It is OK to disagree, but even if we disagree on something we can still agree to be civil and respect each other. That is being peaceful.

2. I disagree

The more the ideas are fought out here, the stronger they will be when they reach the general population. At least as far as I'm concerned "we" don't need coordinated efforts to win, right or wrong. I'm more interested in the truth than winning, and raising and responding to legitimate criticisms of arguments, theories, plans, and even conduct is a valuable tool in uncovering the truth.

4. I am not saying we can't argue the facts or theories, but NOT PERSONAL

ATTACKS!

[jamboi]

[buzzard]

6. It can be a civilized debate rather than name calling. n/t

[AnIndependentTexan]

8. if name calling enters into it what then ?

how do we keep it civilized and what happens when it gets uncivil?

[unpossibles]

3. both

we need to stop fighting. However, we also need to find the weak spots in each other's arguments without resorting to drama and personal attacks.

9. Hey! Don't tell me what to do!

:P

I had you going for a second, didn't I? ;)

[Democrat Dragon]

12. True.

We must be united. For power is achieved through unity. Thats one of the reasons the rethugs are so powerful, because they are united no matter how musch critisism they recieve.

Infighting only leads to weakness

[RaulVB]

13. Infighting is not healthy, I agree...

But to point out to those that are willingly lying or ignoring the facts is also healthy.

The message that the Republicans sent out on November 2nd is clear:

"We do what we want and without opposition we will run the show forever!"

[jsamuel]

15. I think this thread needs to be looked at more...

Again, civilized debate = good / name calling = bad
