Let’s read your defense of the thread topic, not whether you have seen it in action.

I do not choose to defend the thread topic. In fact, I do not choose, at this point in time, to adopt any stance on the thread topic.

FReepers are free to join in on a thread and express their disapproval of the impolite behavior (unnecessary aggressiveness) of other posters, without themselves volunteering a decided opinion on the main topic.

In fact, I do have an opinion, but don't believe that it would especially enrich the discussion here, so I will reserve it to myself for the time being.

However, I do feel that unnecessary rudeness should be critized whenever it rears its ugly head. Free Republic should be protected as a forum for polite discourse at all times.

In other words, you have nothing to add other than a scold about what you perceive as tone?

Just defend what it is that you want to defend as morals and politics.

Hear, hear!

Amen. FrR has become a bastion of bullying lately.

I constantly laugh at the people who are all about being Patriots, but spend their time here criticizing all religions other than their own.

Yes Sir!

Well said!
