Well I'm simply apalled that the gentleman from NJ would stereotype us rednecks as dumb and members of the Klan. I for one am a college educated redneck and not affiliated in any way with the Ku Klux Klan.
But seriously this is a place where debate and arguement will happen. Some members push the report this thread button way too often when things aren't going their way. If the "new and improved" forum is going to be a castrated version then why bother!
The rule seems simple - No Personal Attacks. That does not mean you have to agree with everyone.
For example in the opening statement of this post I made a point without personal attack but had I reffered to the gentleman from NJ as an ign----t yankee c---k s----r then that would have been a personal attack . Civil dicussion does not even imply that everyone is supposed to get along.
If y'all want a place where everyone says nice things to each other and agrees on the topic then start an "I love fuzzy bunnies " forum. If you want a place to argue politics or other
controversial issues (YES I SAID ARGUE) then simply play by the rules.
