Tornado Alley (PROG)

[conix]

In full agreement with your points. This board IS a reflection on how harmful political discourse has become over time. I refuse to be identified in either "political camp", because I do not agree with everything any side espouse--nor how the message is delivered.

As you noted, many here do NOT want to hear or read ANYTHING they disagree with. Which is their right. The problem is when the reaction to just a link to an article --a link!!--is to personally attack the poster.

Repeated personal attacks will finally get the result they want--Finally an angry, profane reaction (which I am guilty of).

Unless you agree with EVERYTHING they espouse, you are the enemy and a worthy target. If they cannot see that they are part of the problem, not unlike the extreme MAGA types, they are just not self-aware and prefer to stay in their bubble.
