I've found the debate on Free Republic and elsewhere nearly intolerable in the wake of Katrina.

I guess I just gloss over the crap, because I haven't noticed anything intolerable. There are a lot of idiots around, but one doesn't necessarily have to acknowledge them, or give them any credit.

A lot of people do. A lot of good people just ignore all the intolerable crap that's been posted. Many don't really want to take on the idiots and get into flame wars.

Only problem is, if we don't acknowledge it, if we don't fight it, someone reading might assume we accept or agree with it. I don't want only the fringes to control this discussion.
