I, in fact, posted a thread a while back with the sole purpose of expressing thoughtful opinions about the illegal issue, for and against the President's policy (I, being against), without rancor and argumentation. (And the kind of mindless bashing that's prominent on this thread).
It actually worked for a few thousand posts.
If that makes me 'pathological' in your book, then so be it. But it looks a lot more like you're the one who doesn't care to be civil......
