Nobody shuts me up, but they shut up people w/o my name. I could care less if it is a minority opinion since I always voice a minority opinion. I have a problem with the thug tactics that are being used by your side. Go look upthread and see who is calling who names.

You say there is no censorship and you are right as long as you don't mind being called every cheap name under the sun. This place never attacked fellow Conservatives like it does now for the crime of disagreement.

You're dreaming if you think that only comes from one side.

Yup, there are name-callers in here today, and mostly from the anti-Miers side. I'll grant you that. Of course, when the thread is populated 10-1 with anti-Miers people, there are just more opportunities for name-calling. Doesn't make it right, just makes it more likely. The Pro-Miers crowd aren't behaving like angels on here either. I've seen a few instances there as well. "Doofus" is a recent, albeit mild, example.

Look, my point is that no one is being denied their voice in here. They aren't being listened to, they are being disagreed with, but that's perfectly acceptable. The name-calling, as crass as it is, is unfortunately a part of internet life. There are millions of people who will say things online they'd never say to someone's face. It happens to you, to me, to everyone. To me it speaks more to that person than it does to me (although in full disclosure mode, I occasionally get caught up in it as well). That's not censorship, however, a point with which you agreed in your last reply.
