Thank you.

I wasn’t trying to be defensive (though I guess it came across that way).

I was hoping to flesh out that poster’s objections with my posting history and how it would warrant a “zot.”

The posters assertion that “group think” on politicians is, at best, misguided.

I have no idea who you have supported over time. I’m a single issue voter - immigration - which why I support Trump. I have no illusions beyond that. I didn’t feel your post was even remotely a problem worthy of such sustained harassment.

Criticism of politicians is a necessary step in the competitive process.

I like that folks offer impassioned pleas for their candidate - to a point. “zotting” of posters for their political beliefs is not a way to keep a robust forum and robust debate necessary for coming to some level of political consensus.

That was the biggest mistake of this forum in the past. One that it has yet to recover from - and may never recover from.
