This is the sort of stuff you find at DU, not here. I recognize there's plenty of good, civil users here, and I'm thankful for that. To those guilty, though, it would be nice if you could tone it down a bit.

I guess you haven't been here long enough to realize that Free Republic, like any large group of normal people, will have folks you like, and folks you don't like. It's big enough to accomodate the contrarians, the snippy, the nasty, the humorous, the meek, the erudite, the logical, the illogical, the tactful, the tactless, the civil and the uncivil. There are modicum rules of conduct that one must abide by set by the site's owner.

Beyond that, it's generally not a great idea to tell people how you think they should be acting. On this site, it will have the exact opposite effect 9 times out of 10. If you can't deal with that, you might be better off on a website where you can swap recipes with folks with screen names like "AuntBetty" and "BlueBonnetSally."

Thank you for providing one of the few civil responses in disagreement.

I'll let the last sarcastic line pass since I've been dishing out so much of it myself... ;-)
