ADMIN Sniping and nasty exchanges on the forum - FF to post 324 now 398.

and I'm sure that is why Dennis moved the "How Savage" thread away from Main and banned the "N" word.

Differences of opinion and debate are great.

Outright "I'm right and you're wrong and all this group of people are evil animals worthy only of destruction and if you don't agree with me you are worthless trash and are not a Christian and are going to hell" posts---I'm seeing more and more of this and it grieves me.

We didn't use to be like this.

We could have differences of opinion, and debate them, without immediately either condemning one another or "Boom! I'm putting you on ignore!" which surely isn't aiding "discussion."

And all that does is make the voices of the haters louder, and the voices of those who speak against it, more cowed until they just quietly give up and go away.

That's what killed Tree of Liberty.

Mods--please don't let it happen here.

Agreed. And the N word as you say is so debased now it has no meaning, yet it is persistantly used as a slur and descriptive, and add the fact its use affects our search ranking results with search engines, and I agreed with his all doing that entirely.

The problem is that modern academia is instilling bigotry into our children and the hate and lack of civil discourse is a result of that.

And I absolutely endorse and support our mods ensuring things stay civil here.

well--that group.....and lately, another group.

That's as far as I go.

Those who've read / known me for a long time here know what 'group' I mean.
