Wouldn't it be nice if civil behavior was so common that the need to have moderated threads was unnecessary? I'll admit I'm not perfect. There have been times when I have shot back barbs to unwarranted hissy fits replete with uncivil behavior. I am aware of this thread's community standards. I intend to comply. I hope these standards are upheld as objectively & fairly as possible. I'll also admit I have little tolerance for folks who use name calling & horrific labels simply because someone has a different POV. I take issue when these epitaphs have no basis in reality & they were uttered in a visceral, emotional outburst to an opposing POV. I have less tolerance for folks who use lies, distortions, spurious allegations & political propaganda as the main thesis of their POV. Both of these repugnant actions get to me faster than just about anything. I have & likely will continue to accurately label those folks (above) liars & hypocrites & worse. I see no problem using accurate descriptors that can be supported with credible, supportable evidence. IMO, these aren't personal attacks if they are indeed an objective & accurate description.
