[Rhodes22-list] Open letter to the guys at the bar

[elle]

I can't necessarily disagree w/some of the comments re: the tone of the list.

The tone of some political posts can be downright bullying.....and the name-calling....and that is discomforting, even if the topic and the discussion may be worthy of a read.....it's a huge turnoff for me personally, and obviously for newbies. Bullies are turnoffs. 

Please reread your posts tone it down before hitting send.  Your points are better made with fluency and reasoning, not force.

You guys are a unique bunch with a huge spectrum of occupations & educational backgrounds, giving unique perspectives to the politics swirling around us.

The discussions do bring out points that I find interesting ...and often you guys find stuff that is not in the news....but  no one is going to change anyone else's minds about the candidates. But these are not discussions any more...they  are diatribes & anyone who does not agree is a &%$#(*&^)#.

So let's stop the bullying, namecalling, and label the posts as political to be deleted at will.. ...and maybe we can get some fresh insights and new buds to hoist one with.
