There are so many things I like about this place and so many intelligent and respectful posters here. I've learned a lot in my short stay.
However, I'm always disturbed to see posters here who DEMAND everyone to be in total lockstep and full agreement on every issue, candidate, point and view. It's not going to happen. We are all individuals. We agree and disagree, as we should.
The problem comes when that "disagreement" turns into spiteful name-calling and mean-spirited juvenile behavior. Totally uncalled for. I've watched it happen here more times than I'd like to count. A few times it was directed at me, so I know it first hand.
I have said so many times on this board that I believe we all want the SAME final result - to take the country back-- we just have different ways of obtaining that. That's OK.
Please remember, when you are ready to lower yourself to name-calling, that FREEDOM of diversity is part of what we stand for. It's what we represent. If we can't do that within our own party, how in the world can we do that outside of our party? We are supposed to be the kinder and gentler side.
We have some very important months and years ahead of us. "UNITED" should be our motto. Let's pull together rather than apart.
Thanks for listening.
