Nothing wrong with debate on issues.

That’s not what I meant by blowback. The ‘out of control’ was referencing things that aren’t issues debates but what I consider the meanest of gutter politics based on the lowest of low personal stuff.

Things that, if when growing up in my home, had I ever said them about anybody, no matter who they were, my family would’ve come down on me like a ton of bricks.

We don’t speak of anyone like that, in this house...do you understand?

My about page makes that point, among others.

But if it seems like a rollicking good time to you, instead of sick, ok.

Again, thanks for the clarity of your thoughts.

Well....

One persons "rollicking good time" is something that another will cringe at. That is the nature of people. Our life experiences and the age we are at bring us to different places.

As far as how we may have been raised? I was raised by saints. My parents never fought and none of the many children they had have ever even heard them even argue. That is a great thing when you are a kid but it may not be too helpful when you find yourself swimming with sharks after never seeing one before. The reality is that sometimes you have to stand and fight. Sometimes that gets nasty. Sometimes there is blood. I wish it was otherwise.

Thanks for the chat!
