It gets to be a snipefest around here when someone's feathers get ruffled. 95% of the time it's due to misunderstanding, incomplete information, personality clashes, and the like. People tend to say things on forum which they would never dream of uttering face-to-face. This may be the origin of some of the AFers' disgruntlement.
Freepers: Would you toss epithets, threats, and insults at these same people if you met them in a party or business meeting? Of course not. Here's an idea: Leave off the infighting. It's not debate; it's divisive and spreads ill-will and creates barriers. Plus the leftists love to see us fight.
If you wouldn't talk to your mother/best friend/preacher/co-workers that way, don't do it here.
