Emotions run high during an issue like this, and people often post words that are harsher than they mean. Some who do so are new FReepers drawn here by that issue who do not understand the value of civil discourse. Some are simply jerks.

You do get one-issue zealots here, and we all know what topics are likely to draw packs of them: any evolution or ID thread, the U.S. civil war, any thread mentioning gays that does not conclude that they are sons of Satan, etc, etc. The Elian days were misery. This kind of stuff happens, and you just have to deal with it...or leave.

Some are simply jerks.

I can’t help but feel that was directed at me. I’m outta here!
