I liked Palin in the beginning but I began to lose confidence in her but nothing she did or said could shake off her rabid supporters.
I was about to give up FR because of their defense of her and subsequent attacks on anyone else.
I know.
As far as I was concerned people could be as weird and far-out as they wanted to be in reading Sarah Palin tea leaves. But the attacks on everyone else, that was astounding.
I don't need that in my life. And many here said they remained silent -- iow, they exercised self-discipline in just letting garbage go in order to maintain some kind of functioning forum.
If mature, intelligent, civil and above all non-vulgar discussion does not occur here, mature, intelligent, civil and non-vulgar people will eventually leave.
Then this forum becomes no different from "theirs." Nasty.
