True. Some posters resort to personal attacks rather than respectfully stating their positions. I hope we can elevate the discussions to a higher level, keeping the posts both constructive and polite.
Some will never keep the discussion polite, because that would involve listening to another side say that GW might actually be wrong on an issue. Heaven forbid if anyone declare that our President is human and actually can be wrong. You can respectfully state your opinion all you want and still be flamed, called a troll, a DUer ... or whatever the flavor of the week is.
When I took the side of wait and see on Harriet Miers.. I was called a bot... now I disagree with the administration's immigration stance and I'm a border troll.
I guess an accurate description is I'm a Bot-Border-Troll (or for those who like alphabets, a BBT).
