Because then the thread would die a natural death. Isn’t that what you want? If you start trading barbs on this thread it doesn’t do you nor FR any good, and it just keeps the thread going. Let it die.
And see them at the end of it cheering...'look at me, look at the power I have'. That's rewarding their bully tactics. I have watched for days, conservatives who have the same ideologies I have, the same conservative goals as me, prance and preen and strut like peacocks daring anyone to cross them, conservatives included.
Kill this thread. Period. Time to stop it in it's tracks.
