LisaNY Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) I think we all need to take a look at SWB's post that states specific guidelines for behavior while posting on political topics, because I think we've forgotten what she told us. (And this goes for those on ALL sides of the political arena.) ETA: And, to those that are abiding by the rules, thank you for your kindness. :001_smile: Edited October 18, 2008 by LisaNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And this goes for those on ALL sides of the political arena.) Bravo, Lisa, for this reminder. When posters care so very deeply about their causes/opinions/candidates it is all too easy to slide into an unnecessarily heated and volatile argument rather than a productive debate.
