1 step program for PB

Got a question for you...

Would you be more inclined to visit PB if it wasn't so mean with the personal attacks? I have no problem with vicious attacks on a person's political ideas but am uncomfortable with attacks on an individual or their family. I'm very hesitance to censor anybody's thoughts but some of these personal attacks are over the top in my way of thinking.

What do you think?

The trouble is that for some people, the personal is political and vice versa.

For example, the subject of racism is a common cause of dust-ups on PB. Is the issue of race a personal or political one? I guess it depends on one's perspective.

I really don't mind the name-calling but can't stand racial epithets. For others, it is the opposite. I find it more offensive when someone calls the President "Buckwheat" than I do when somebody calls me a "moonbat".

Which one is personal and which is political?

I started visiting PB occasionally because you asked that people not get into political fights on Cattle Today. I think that was a good move for both forums.

Thanks for running both sites. I've gotten some excellent advice on CT that has helped my small operation and PB is a good place to think and vent.
