Patrick isn't calling for censorship. He's calling for people to use some modest amount of their brainpower when they post. I second that idea. That's why I posted what I just posted.

It's that "broad brush" you were talking about...

There are some forum members who constantly say "the left" (or something very similar) whenever they show up in this Totally O/T or the newer Politics & Religion part of the forum.
It's really hard to attach any meaning to their words when they use this frame of reference. WHO (with some specificity) are these forum members talking about?
It seems to convey nothing more specific than "anyone that I think isn't going to agree with whatever it is that I am about to say."
It's not much of a basis or foundation for any kind of discussion, to be understated about it.

Isn't this supposed to be about Kirstie Alley? Move the infighting and name calling back to the P & R section please and thank you. Oh, she was anti Vax.

I cannot "move" the words that I singled out for discussion. They are words from another forum member.
I think this is a good thread for this kind of discussion. Not that I expect to make any difference because I expect it falls on deaf ears (or comes before blind eyes) but at least Patrick has signified his agreement, and that's a good thing for me to experience.
Yes, this is a thread that started with the passing of Kirstie Alley, but these words are not being engraved in marble or granite like a grave monument. It's just words in an online forum.
I have no intention of "standing down", although there's probably nothing more for me to say in this vein, unless something surprising comes next.

For some people, it's only about politics... all day, everyday. Gawd, they must be fun to be around.
