Some people feel the same way about Trump’s fanatical supporters.

Thats other thing I can't understand... posters who incessantly whine about being unfairly treated by people with whom they disagree, when there are plenty of examples all around them of abusive posts by those on their own side.

I'm partisan but at least can acknowledge that the abuse comes from all sides.

Fair enough. But I do see more intense and unprovoked insults by Cruz supporters. Along with insulting Trump personally, without any chance of a real discussion. The same vitriol is spewed on thread after thread.

I have no control over what others do, but I try to behave politely. But I will admit I have been provoked from time to time and blended in with the mobs.

How about Cruz supporters stay on Cruz threads and Trump supporters stay in Trump threads. On threads about both, it’s fair game.

Or alternatively, how about posters follow the stated rules?
“Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience. “
And
“We’re not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile. Liberals, usurpers, and other assorted malcontents are considered unwelcome trolls on FR and their accounts and or posts will be summarily dismissed at the convenience of the site administrators.”
Apparently conservatives can act exactly as low.

I guess the bouncers are all on vacation.
