Self Policing Militia Summons

Here's an idea, Jim. You're well respected here. When someone posts a dismissive or insulting post, tell them to stop. Remember how obedient Classic was, when you told him to stop kicking the retarded kid? I'll bet Merc will listen to you, too. I don't want to sound like "they started it", but I will bet you that if you get merc and classic to stop, redux and I will have no reason to be asshats.

I'm sure the hostility expressed by some does keep people from posting in the Politics forum. People have their viewpoints and, however illogical we may think they are, they are theirs.

What I hate is the holier than thou attitude of a certain someone who tends to berate those who disagree with him/her. I can respect your opinion even though I disagree with it. We, however, are racist, homophobic, gun-loving tea-baggers for our views.

Why can't we have a lively discussion...agree to disagree and not resort to name calling.

Oh, and I say violators are sent to Pakistan with a pistol, sword and night vision equipment and made to hunt down Osama Bin Laden.

*shrugs* I don't think it matters, really. I certainly have my opinions on coming in and reading 8 posts in a row of merc eating popcorn, saying demoncrat whores, shill, fail...whatever. Does that mean anything? No. Should it? No.

Why don't you think it should mean anything? I think it means something... It's a bullshit way to act, completely selfish and rude. Typical of most of the internet which is why people come/stay here instead.
It seems like so much resentment has built up at this point, like someone else said, it's not even about the issues being discussed anymore. But as soon as people try to discuss an issue, the same fight starts among the same people for page after page...
