Patricia, the postings are much calmer when you
put the 3-4 worse offenders on IGNORE. :--)

Just my suggestion.

There is a lot of good info here, too bad they try
to drown it out.

The Abolitionist movement led to war. The bloodiest war in American history. It should have been aborted for that?

Patricia, the fact that you keep finding yourself in an indefensible position may mean your position is wrong. Think about it.

Of course, you can take tsigprofit's advice and put ear plugs in. But I thought your side claimed to be the defenders of free speech. It would appear from his point of view that means listening to only one side, the side you prefer originally.

I am quite well aware of the risks and dangers here. You'd have to be an idiot not to be. But we are dealing with a dangerous situation and a dangerous man.

I actually would prefer to see thames's solution adopted. It is one I have advocated for some time.

And my response to part of that:

Now I think you'd have to at least admit we're not all crazy warmongers.
