“There is a declining level of civility even when we agree!”

Not sure how long I’ve been here — over 20 years, I think. The civility level has decreased. What I notice more is that there’s a less scholarly and intelligent level to posts overall. (Of course, there are glaring exceptions.)

Back when Tony Snow, Mark Levin, Barbara Olson, etc., were on FR it was more cerebral and less childish.

Just MHO, FWIW.

I agree completely. I was first on FR beginning in 2007. A very different site today.

Years ago, on this very site, Mark Levin called me A-hole_n_one.

I still get all warm and fuzzy thinking about it.

You don't sound pompous are condescending at all. You are the truest example of enlightened perfection that has ever commented.

You do know that the Founding Fathers used to battle each other in the newspapers like rabid dogs and they won our independence, right? It has been proven for over 70 years now that GOPe squishes do not win political battles. You probably hate Trump's "demeanor too.

Especially Snow and Olson. And to a point, Levin used to be.

They would now be denigrated as establishment elites. If you're not throwing bombs and shouting down anyone who isn't 100% MAGA, you're a Democratic plant.

So...that's soon all that will be left, which is how most of them seem to want it.
