Snackman: Welcome back from your trip. JesseL is a prince of a fellow, isn't he?
Re: the duplication/Groundhog mode--I notice the hook always seems to yank those whose views are critical. If the cheerleading section says the same positive things over and over, they are never rebuked, gagged or banned.
Be careful with that hook, Snackie; be judicious and fair. People come here to hear both the good and the bad. Those who raise serious issues should be heard also.
Didn't see any rebukes administered to posters like Doma, Barge and others who were simply rude, personal, failed to address the issues, and posted in sarcastic manner. Looks rather biased, from my point of view.
In a democracy we tolerate all points of view, that is what makes this such a wonderful country. The stifling of the voices of contrarians and dissidents is the first sign of totalitarianism. Besides, all cheerleaders a dull board do make.
