On most issues, I think most of the folks here are in agreement. Unfortunately it just makes sense that the most visible and action-packed threads are the ones where we're at each other's throats.
I compare these to a food-fight at the family reunion. As much as we love our crazy Aunt Sally; it is FUNNY when the guacomole hits her face! To say nothing about sneaking in an atomic wedgie on Cousin Theron. You still stay a family. Even while planning the SaranWrap commode for next year. The wretched trolls that dare to interlope ar dealt with harshly.
