Allow no disagreement from fellow Freepers? Well, I guess we just did. I see disagreement all the time on FR.

What I really dislike are the handful of meanies. Thankfully, there are only a few of those, so they are easy to ignore.

Amen. When I've disagreed with those, over the years, and attempted to do so politely I learned that they weren't trying to make or prove a point so much as start a fight.

Yes there is disagreement, plenty of that. (We agree there. ;-)) And to be sure, there always have been flame wars here.

Maybe it isn't a case of taking FR too seriously, but those who take whatever their issue is, and make serious discussion about it difficult because their considered opinion is the only one that is right (in both senses of the word). Their issue may be important, but they take their role in it much too seriously. Those people lead me to avoid whole classes of threads.

And this certainly isn't the only place on the web where the Schiavo case really affected the discourse.It will be interesting to see what happens here over the next few weeks.

I guess it's hard to see that you've morphed into what you profess to hate.
