Sorry to barge in on this, but it caught my eye on the thread.
I'm relatively new here, posted some stuff and got really weird responses. Just hateful, not really responding to what I said. I don't care if people disagree with me, I like the debate, and I try to be nice. But some just seem to want to fight. I just ignore it, but it's annoying when you want to discuss topics.
You seem to indicate this is a new phenomenon?
Me too. But if you were on a thread about religion, evolution, illegal immigration, Ayn Rand, the Civil War, or Walmart you can expect to get flamed by one side or the other. LOL!
It is a new phenomenon, sadly.
