RUINS my cellar experience. I know I'm not alone in this. can I get an AMEN?

FUCK

Amen. The only thing worse is when someone gets singled out for a gang stomping.

Can we get an AMEN for for stopping those assholes?

Here's what happens:

Someone posts a topic...any topic.

There are maybe 1-2 pages of casual discussion about it, and possibly some divergence of opinion that people discuss and toss different view points around.

Then a 'Politco' posts an opinion which will invariably include some non funny attempt at an acerbic comment about the opposing 'team' .... and then the thread will jump 3 pages in 11 minutes and consist of nothing but the unattractive side of a bitter argument between what surely must be estranged lovers.

SO, it's not all about you, Redux. as I said....it's the part you play over and over again. you all dance for each other. I, for one am not amused or entertained by it. And really, I like to be amused and entertained.

Redux debates the issue. He does not get nasty until someone else acts nasty.

back on topic:

IMO, quickly and harshly dealing with aggressors does prevent those who may be tempted to behave in a similar manner in the future. It is just my opinion but I believe it is more effective than telling someone not to wear a t shirt because it might get someone else all worked up.
