dirtboy..........will you give this up about Laura? Everybody knows how you feel, so please stop whining. I haven't said anything nasty about you, and you haven't said anything nasty (that I have seen) about Laura, so posting to me wasn't necessary.

This isn't about Laura any more, it is about the tone of FR - and the matter with Laura is the most recent episode of such incivility. So it is highly relevant to address that.

Free speech is a good thing, but common decency and a compunction to tell the truth has been missing all over the place here lately, and if it's driven Ivan away (in addition to many others), it needs to be controlled.

And as I said, one of the best ways to improve civility is to demand it of those on your own side. Did you call anyone on your side to task for excessive attacks? Or are you only concerned about the incivility of the other side?

This is silly, dirtboy. Did you? Or are we both grownups?

I stated that I disagreed with the name calling. Stop whining.......please??

(Mind if I ask how old you are.....just for future reference?)
