I see no harm is this vanity not being tucked under the rug. Do you? There are a lot of newbies here who seem to want to talk out the issues. It's the new Conservative newbies who are taking our place, and they deserve to hear everything we have to say. If we shut them up in a little room called chat, they won't learn.
They should learn the way we did....I lurked for almost a full year before I joined up. By that time,I knew the "inside jokes",the code words,if you will,who made sense,who didn't,and the rules.
Now,people join and immediately post some damned banal,inane,moronic vanity to News/activism.
