Thread Name: BS: 'Boss Hogg' is a Democrat
Subject: RE: BS: 'Boss Hogg' is a Democrat
I'm getting really tired of threads like this. It's the same bunch of people, calling each other liar and fuckwit and asshole and other clever things like that - making it totally impossible for other people to carry on a rational discussion. Sometimes I wonder if I should just close every damn thread that develops this kind of tone. Sometimes, I wish I could close the entire BS section, along with very "what is folk?" thread that gets more than a hundred posts long.
Frankly, I'm at a loss about what to do with all this garbage. It gives Mudcat a bad name. I hate the thought of restricting freedom, but all the name-callers make it impossible for others to carry on a peaceful and intelligent discussion. Isn't the constant combat restricting the free speech of the rest of us? -Joe-
