Reply #20: So can we only discuss a single the topic from a single angle?

I would also be surprised if anyone missed that there has been an incredible amount of "broad brush" applying what happened in Arizona and implying that anyone who does not support the position of unlimited and unregulated movement across borders is somehow exhibiting latent racist feelings.

I know that for some this place is an entertainment spot or a place to vent, but for many others that come to DU we are more into the "forum" aspect, as in an opportunity to discuss and learn and try to hash out ideas. Of course everyone rants and raves from time to time. But not everyone is into following along and posting outrage again and again. So if someone is raging and claiming that anyone on the site is a racist who has a nuanced opinion of immigration policy, well, in a forum we might want to jump on and say "hold on a minute", what are we doing?
