I believe you said similar commentary when Devon (your d-i-l, if I am not mistaken) also posted some imflammatory topic. While I imagine it would be VERY hard to not get upset when a family member is 'attacked' (though I see it differently), I have to ask: where is the "loving action" that comes from posting such topics, and ones overly righteous views on it? I didn't see one ounce of 'love and acceptance' in her posts. I saw hate, bigotry and smallmindedness. She STARTED the thread! She wasn't inadvertantly dragged into it. She STARTED it. Maybe religious convictions would be better fodder for another type of website? Maybe?

Ditto! I can't remember who...but I think it was Devon who threw some really nasty comments at me when I posted a response in here that didn't even have an opinion in it! Then, when people stuck up for me, she just deleted the nasty comment and the bit about "No wonder I have you on ignore" and went on as if nothing happened.

It seems to me that this thread went very well until someone took Sirrahbed's response WAY out of context and started getting angry preemptively. (I felt that it was a very well written expression of an opinion that was different from most on here, NOT rude or inflammatory in any way.)

Don't you think some of us are being a little bit hypocritical? We sit here and accuse the more conservative among us of starting problems because our opinions were different, and yet....WE WERE THE MAJORITY. When one person posted a conservative biew, one of "us" liberals jumped down their throat and a bunch of others jumped on the bandwagon. Does this seem absurd to anyone else?!
