“They by no means have a monopoly on that behavior.”
Sure. There may have been some childish actions on both sides of the isle. But try reading through the posts and maybe you’ll get a better understanding of what actually has occurred.
I can’t speak for all posts on this forum. Only the ones I have followed. But I can tell you that many responses ,even though seemingly childish, were justified.
Many of the reactions by ‘conservatives’ were through frustration from a few that insisted that they were right about their point of view no matter what.
You say you don’t support Rudy, and that’s good.
But many do and found it necessary to belittle the ones that didn’t through rude and vicious comments, which got them banned.
I know this thread is a long one, but if you go through it you will find what I say to be true.
I’ve watched this from the beginning.
And in your individual case, you may be right.
But there are an equal number of instigators on both ends. Anyone who acts like it was only the fault of the “Evil Rudy Supporters” simply isn’t being honest about things.
I’m praying that, now that a lot of the agitators on the other side have gotten themselves banned, we can go back to enforcing the rules of civility. Otherwise this site becomes another DailyKos, only with right-wing profanity.
Where I work, they block DailyKos because of the profanity. I would be embarrassed if this site ended up on their list.
