I thought Oh oh headed to the attic, for a while, but then reading all the commentary, there were some good points made. It's been a random walk it got political then it went back to the issue of permits, and so on. Not always in the most polite manner, but mostly civil. That's what free speech is about. No guarantees you will like or agree with what you read or hear. But it's very dangerous to censor it for that reason.
Thank you. I completely concur about expressing differing perspectives and certainly censorship would be wrong in that situation.
However, this thread started to go downhill on the third page when the insults and demeaning comments started appearing. Most contributors expressed opinions reasonably regardless of their stance on the topics. Some did not and it was for those reasons not the viewpoints that some of us feel that the attic is appropriate now.
Terms such as freaks, morons, and referring to the population of a state as nuts and fruits isn't exactly well mannered behavior.
It may be that some consider that to be acceptable. If some good conversations have to be moved as a result of bad behavior by a few individuals then so be it. Perhaps they may learn to moderate their approach over time.
