The immigration issue is a hot button issue around here that has become emotionally loaded. Your pleasant comments do no more to reverse the trend of ugliness on illegal immigration threads

My post was not intended to affect the beauty or lack thereof of any trend on any topic. My post was directed to an individual poster who has what I percieve to be an irrational amount of ill will towards the owner of the website, and merely reflected an approach to understanding that I thought might benefit him should he consider adopting it. Considering the poster's adversarial tone, I cannot imagine a more congenial approach, but am always open to suggestion.

Did you have one?

The illegal immigration threads are no worse or better than the abortion threads, the evolution threads, or the euthanasia threads. Opinions are like...well you know.

The poster whom you were posting to is a bit angry/over the top. I am aware of this. That anger comes from someone who lives on 'the front line' so to speak. L.A., one of the main illegal immigration centers. We have all but put out a welcome and information desk for them.

And sometimes it seems like instead of holding a pol's feet to the fire over an issue, we want to handle them with velvet gloves, because they have an R next to their name. And that's where all the anger and emotion on this issue comes from, and from that poster in particular.

Considering the poster's adversarial tone, I cannot imagine a more congenial approach, but am always open to suggestion.

That's nice.
