Rick and Scarlett:
First off, allow me to commend you for trying to do a good job.
That said, you can't please everyone.
It appears that some of us are dissatisfied with robust, political debate.
It would also appear, that some of us can't get enough of that form of debate.
I might have a compromise that could make MOST of us content.
Would it be possible for you fine folks to create a thread that is dedicated to tough, knock down, drag out, political debate?
Of course, no obscenity, threats of violence, or anything illegal would be tolerated.
But, other than that, everything else goes!
However, to enter that forum, participants would have to agree to abide by its special rules.
The details can be worked out and the rest can be tweaked.
But, what do you think?
That way, complaints would be lessened, 99% of us would be happy, and your lives would be easier (ours too).
If you enter the special debate area, you understand that it won't be like the regular area.
But, no one would feel that their rights are being slighted or abused.
You folks would not be seen as censors.
See, I'm a UNITER, not a DIVIDER; unlike that Kenyan carpetbagger!
Come on people, what say you?
