[there are ways to communicate one’s anger without resorting to vulgarity and cursing on a public forum. ]

I agree with that whole heartedly. I do not like the meanness when it comes to vulgarity and crude comments about Obama’s children, and there has been some of that too.

As I posted early on, take out the hate on Obama and his cohorts, they are the ones betraying us.

Yes. It may be hard to do, but we all should remember that FR is a house with walls of glass. We're not the only ones who see what's going on in here.

It's all too easy to get comfortable, and begin making comments that would cause a fist fight if they were uttered person-to-person.

I don't know how many times I've seen someone post excerpts of posts from DU where someone cherry-picked ugly, or even racist-sounding comments off FR, which were then published at DU and other left-wing sites, in order to injure us.

I would remind everyone of the warning in red type on the "Posting Comment" screen, which says, "Loose lips sink ships." I'm sure that warning is there to remind all of us that nothing we say here is private, and can easily be used against us by our enemies.
