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.

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.

I often find myself in the minority here, because I won't resort to the name calling just because “they do it”. I have seen people change since Obama was elected, the hate runneth over...

I wasn't raised that way and don't desire to change. My parody gifs are my way of doing things. Shoot, I may be on ‘some’ list by now, lol.
