Oh, nevermind, I confused what thread I was responding in. Nevermind.
Perhaps Smokin Joe doesn’t mind, but after reading the article and the entire thread down to your post, I’d like to comment.
Trump supporters have every right to be celebrate the major victory he won in NH yesterday and I suspect we all expected him to win in a big way there.
No matter which candidate FReepers favor and no matter how passionately, most of them are civil and respectful to each other and their arguments about other candidates are generally based on their logical analysis of events and actions.
However, there are a few (and so far on this thread today they’ve all been Mr. Trump’s supporters) who resort to ad hominem attacks on both candidates and FReepers, bully, disparage, and mock others for their view points, and sometimes border on the obscene.
Free Republic used to be the place I sent my high school students to learn about conservatives’ views on issues. I wouldn’t dream of doing that these days because of the tone that has become so pervasive. I recognize that only a small minority are responsible but, despite requests from other posters and Jim himself, things are getting worse, not better. That’s a sad situation for all of us.
