Re: Bye, Bye Politics
I just have to say. It never fails to amaze me how many of you engaged in, even started much of what led us here. Yet still talk like it is only your opposition that were hateful, threatening, and just downright rude. I'm sure FP and Valkryderguy are both shaking their heads in amazement that you can't see your part in all of this.
When I first started venturing into this site I was saddened to see it had a political section. For a month or so I refused to open a thread in the political section fearing the worst. When I finally weakened and came in, I was not surprised, In fact it was far worse than I suspected. I finally had my fill of the one sided rhetoric and started to reply. I was quickly cornered and subjected to venom I haven't witnessed in bar fights. And I gave what I got. And gave them extra to remind them that all Liberals aren't shrinking violets. As time has passed I realized that they felt that anything they said too, or about me was justified, ergo, not an attack. Just the truth. I felt duty bound to stay and soldier on till an event happened while in route to deliver a load, and several very personal threats changed my desire to battle on. I have on occasion came back when things have gotten out of hand and I rerouted their fire on to me. Or when I saw they needed a reminder that they aren't the masters of the universe they purport themselves to be. Or when their circular back slapping (to put it nicely) became insufferable.
I watched as all of you piled on Radmanly and just plain did everything you could think of to torment, vilify, and berate him. Again using every tool you possessed. All the while he remained cool and collected. . It was never enough for you to just disagree. You flat attacked him from every angle. Yet you will never admit to your actions.
Needless to say. I will not miss this section. Nor do I believe you could ever find anyone to mediate it fairly. It far to devisive in a forum where we should find unity. It is dead, as it should be...
