Strangler - my english teacher taught me that directly insulting your opponents only hurts your argument and makes you seem childish. It's true in the presidential debates and it's true here too. Others manage to express their views without insulting one another. I'd expect similar behaviour from you. Especially considering that you're a moderator. I quit the political debate game because I'd get too wrapped up in the argument and lose my cool. I'll throw in the odd comment here or there but I've mainly stayed out of it. This doesn't mean I think I'm wrong or that this is a bad place to discuss politics, I just feel that everything I could say has been said and that getting down in the dirt some more won't do anything for me. We know you have strong political convictions, but attacking other members and/or their beliefs doesn't make people want to listen to what you have to say. Remember, as moderators we are to be setting an example. We don't want to set a bad one.

Hey, I don't directly insult anyone, I INDIRECTLY insult EVERYONE. There is a difference
As for overreacting, my issue was more about how this particular thread had been done to death, and I made that opinion known. Now if people have a problem with me expressing my opinions on something, thats tough, and I didn't get irate until Mariolover decided to say that I shouldn't speak my mind.
If you don't like what I have to say, go screw. I'm not going to let things I don't agree with or like pass without saying something or just hop on the old bandwagon.
Knowing my posting record, why would anyone expect any less?
