I have not pushed the abuse button. I won't. But I will tell you that every time I;ve seen it pushed under these circumstances two results occur - the thread gets moved to the Smoky Back Room and the attacker gets banned if he persists. That would be an unfortunate end result.

It's nearly inevitable that every thread that mentions Rudy Giuliani ends up in the "Smoky Back Room."

I won't vote for the guy in a primary, but the level of vitriol from the people opposing him is scary. He's been a good citizen and leader. He'll have his day if he decides to run (and I certainly think he will).

That's why we have elections. When all is said and done, what is written here on FR is really quite irrelevant. I'm just sorry that the level of discourse has fallen to this point.

I have to go lay down and stretch out my back. I await your critique with bated breath. BBL

...the thread gets moved to the Smoky Back Room...

Just what our prolific anti-Giuliani associate would want. Interesting.

I thought we covered all of this last night. Why do we keep getting anti-conservative threads promoting Rudy? This is gonna be one miserable year here at FR seeing all the liberal Rudybot threads posted. Enuf already!
