Have you read one thread of mine where I’m not accused of awful things — been insulted in some of the nastiest ways, or had the thread balled up with repeated disruptive photos or misinformation?
I don’t do that. So when I say something generic like I feel a poster is on the thread to disrupt effective dissemination of information and it causes you to go ballistic, it really is beyond the pale. It would be laughable, if it wasn’t so wrong.

Sure. That’s how we work. Most of your comments are pasted in and it annoys people to have to keep reading the same things over and over. As to being called nasty things...I’ve had problems with Perry for 5 years now, and I’ve posted on them here. You should hear what I get called, especially in the beginning. That’s simply part of the game...there’s a lot of worked up people out there on all sides.

I went ballistic, in part, because of what I had to deal with last night. I commented and actually supported Perry (in a snide way, of course), and then put in my TWO-WORD exception, which was, ready, “the borders”. For that I was screamed at and reported to Admin. So, yes, I do now have a thin skin and will not put up with people acting as thread police, when they don’t like a response (particularly if the response is short).
I want to learn all I can about these politicians, the bad, the beautiful and the detailed. These posts are useful to me in many, many ways.
For these efforts the posters are often scorned, belittled, even savaged for performing a service which I, for one, find invaluable....just because they favor a certain candidate.
I've never seen such a level of vitriol in the thirteen years I've been on this forum as that emanating from some of the slavish devotees of one candidate or another against someone supporting another candidate.
The hostility evinced toward a supporter of another candidate seems to trigger in some an innate rage and an urge to name-call and insult that is evident on almost every primary election thread now being posted on FR. This is shameful. But shame doesn't seem to enter into any equation any more.
