The point that some can't really seem to understand is that you do have an FR constituency for whom you must attend for this site to survive. The obvious corollary of that is that the farther you views are from those of the "mainsteam," the more factual and reasoned and polite it behooves one to behave. That should be the goal of all of course, but if you are both at one end of the bell curve of FR opinion, and also nasty and superficial, well, it is hardly any surprise that you get short shrift.
Have you noticed how extra polite I am on those infrequent occasions when I discuss gay marriage? LOL.
Gay marriage? Now there's a choking thought. Saw one today where two gay men want to have children. Also saw a post about turtles that breathe through their butt. Don't know if there's a correlation or not, but the one reminded me of the other. Strange new world we live in.
