Been part of this community for almost 15 years now. I think extraordinarily highly of almost every single person in the community, regardless of their political stripes. This thread is by far the worst one I’ve ever seen in 15 years. I’m about to say something I have never, ever, ever advocated for on any message board ever: there are several folks here who need to take some time away from the board, either voluntarily on their own accord, or through moderator action. Some of the stuff being spewed back-and-forth here transcends political or ideological differences. It’s just pure nastiness for the sake of such. Everyone and the good Lord know that I am all about some trash talk and coarse language at times, and I am certainly not proud of the way in which I have interacted with many people through the years. But I’m not going to continue to be part of a community where some of what we are seeing on this thread gets tolerated. Anyone making a statement or claim that anyone else is celebrating a murder or advocating for political murders should be summarily banned.
