I have seen first hand a lot of very ugly commentary and name calling regarding public figures, political enemies, etc.
...I often have the same thought, and have wondered why the adjectives for political opposition doesn’t stop, say, at three hundred or so...would make for better dialogue...
A recent thread about Katy Perry went south after only 1-2 comments.
...if it centered around her latest tune (some ditty referring to a tiger’s eye, I believe) I must admit that it would have gone south far faster had I been involved...I acknowledge we should all try and say something nice, but there are just some things...
I think it’s fine to criticize when something warrants it. What I object to is some of the language that gets used. There are classier ways to voice a negative opinion than calling a woman a slut.
