Therein lies the problem. The incivility became awful; my guess is that Jim decided he had to put a stop to it. Since both sides were equally guilty, all else equal if you must pick one to ban you're going with the more liberal one.
I totally disagree. We had a spirited debate about the candidates.
Which should be a good thing.
It was a bit early, starting in February of 2007, but what the heck, Freepers look ahead.
We still haven’t had a Republican candidate debate and it’s now April.
The incivility began when it was made plain here that you can’t support a particular candidate. I’m not sure you can even be undecided at this time about that candidate.
It’s not quite that cut and dried, but the message is unmistakeable, and the lunatics running around trying to get people who have been members here for nine or ten years is utterly disgusting.
Well, guys, it worked. High fives all around!
Now what?
Indeed.
“The incivility became awful; my guess is that Jim decided he had to put a stop to it.”
Calling someone an asswipe isn’t a particularly good way to go about that.
