Yes, and you are correct in that regard. The price of being able to enjoy these freedoms is that you're going to have a bunch of troublemakers try to play moderator. The only thing is it's very inconsiderate & not a very nice thing to do.

The differnece between forums is that this is a national forum and people from all over America can participate. There's nothing wrong with that. the only thing is I just would not try to participate in a state or local forum unless I'm from that region and am familiar with the area and the issues discussed. I'm of the belief that courtesy, manners and good taste requires that people who want to partcipate in a state or local area forum live in that state or area and have some knowledge or familarity with the issues.

Unfortunately, that is something that doesn't seem to exist among Democrats, liberals, progressives, moderates et al.Regards.

Agree, but you must remember that some people have very little in the way of a life.
