Yes, X, and then there was that. LOL!

And there were pointed personal crude, sexist insults to posters by name to genitalia.

By self-described, PROUD TO BE 'all-American, PATRIOT, 'right wingers.'

I've seen deliberate racist hostility here ... again, from those who are proud to be 'conservatives.'

I think SI in general has degenerated into an extremely hostile place.

There is no middle ground here.

Again, I hope it's not representative of R/L but I'm afraid it is. To some degree, anyway.
