And these are just the recent posts. It's one thing to disagree. It's another thing to start name-calling and making fun of other people. But hey, that what congress does to each other and then complain about the lack of civility. Why would the downlow be any different?

lmao I've been called everything in the book, please don't play innocent jd, you have been as guilty of this in the past as anyone here. I'm all for talking facts and exchange thoughts, but plenty of times I've been rebuffed with ad hominem attacks on my perspective and called anything from chairman Mao to Stalin lol The civility has nothing to do with it. It's been in the rules for a long time, it's only been partially enforced. we're in a phase now where they want to enforce it so be it. I'm sure someone will get riled up by something they see on the news and will be back on here warning of the destruction the of the nation

Find one time when I have called anyone a derogatory name.

I didn't say derogatory, I said ad hominem attacks, that is to say you attacked the person not the POV. That has as much to do with it as derogatory remarks.

The way this reads you are accusing me of calling people "everything in the book". You said you were called everything in the book and then say I'm just as guilty as everyone else. I say prove it.
