      I stand by every word. I just don’t think I’m going to convince any conservative morons. Furthermore, I don’t want to contribute to the growth of this very very sad community. It’s embarrassing how poorly the posts do.

          Maybe the brigaders vote this way because they think the posts aren’t welcome here. You should not tolerate the intolerance, after all.

          I’m quite glad to see it.

            Differing opinions are valued here. Trolls are not.

            If someone is acting in good faith, I look forward to the conversation. They might be surprised how much we agree on.

              Exactly the same thought. No notes. If this community is civil, posts will do well.

                    The one responding to a deleted post and then calling me a coward, for one. You are in that exact thread. Its sad and pathetic to see the hate in the posts hidden behind comments of “well I said it nicely so how can you even say its uncivil”.

        I would appreciate it if you kept it civil. If you don’t wish to contribute, then please, don’t.

          How is it that calling somebody a coward is considered civil, but calling a group a bunch of morons not?

      How are you certain it’s cowardice and not a case of “fuck it, it isn’t worth the effort of arguing”?

        That was indeed part of it. What can you do if people want to pull up deleted comments and spread hate?
