Let me join those who congratulate you on your insightful post - It was as well said as I've seen. That said, one part of the post caught my eye:

"But there are a few loudmouths who tar as racist, xenophobe, etc. everyone even the least bit concerned about illegal immigration. And they're given free reign to do it and I think we can now see some of the effects of their rancorous slander in the recent purge and website prohibitions.

I too have been involved in numerous threads dealing with the Illegal issue and have posted directly to/from Jackelope. I have also observed the outrageous behavior of a number of Posters of the type you allude to and I had direct, unpleasant interactions with them as well.

IMO they are simply agitators who wish to shout, insult and otherwise bully their point across and, in the process, make a chaos out of what would otherwise be intelligent, reasoned debate of the matter. A real turn off and I would suggest that, if banning was an appropriate sanction for anyone in this matter, it is they who should have been banned from the start - but they weren't and I find that extremely disappointing.

Very well said. I should have known such a well reasoned post came from a Michigan and Navy man.

yeah and bayourod is one of those, as I recall.....The guy totally flipped outwhen I mentioned that I was white and because I posted on the topic of invading criminals. Shame on me for being born what I am and mentioning same. I guess we're not allowed to be the '"W" word' ;ºD
