Well said. Appreciate reading a post from someone who
has a grasp of the issues and is in the world of reality.

Thanks for both your responses. It’s unfortunate that discourse on FR has deteriorated so much. Respectful disagreement is fine, but so many of these threads are nothing but flame bait these days.

Many of the posters, including some who get a little too “worked up”, are sincere and merely frustrated. However, there is a subgroup who know exactly what they’re doing and are only interesting in inflaming emotions and precluding or forestalling serious debate. They’re doing the online equivalent of Saul Alinsky’s “jamming” strategy.
