I don't know if you did or didn't, but there's so much noise on both sides that it's difficult for someone with no preconceived opinion of what the outcome should be to get a clear picture.
This forum is probably 80% in favor of keeping Terri alive, regardless of what it takes. Any and all evidence indicating otherwise is dismissed as lies. Any and all evidence that she is still there is elevated to the status of overwhelming proof.
Anyone, and certainly including any long-standing Freepers, who think Terri's life should be terminated are villified.
On the other side is Michael and the MSM who also misrepresent the facts, conveying the impression that Terri is braindead or that this is a right to die case.
I'm sick of it. As of today, this forum is completely intolerant of anyone who hasn't already made up their minds, and the vast majority are so radically apart as to make any discussion of the issue between them a flame war.
You're just itching to launch into me. Don't do it. It should be possible to have discussions here without all the emotional baggage that accompanies a life and death decision. I understand why people are on edge, or even over the edge. But it's terribly damaging to the forum and it's a lack of self-control.
Whatever the outcome of this case, it's not a good thing, except for the fact that millions of people will be filling out living wills for the first time.
Not really.
But, this is a serious issue.
