There are exceptions of course, but for the most part, people come here to call each other names in a safe environment. They say things that they would not have the balls to say in a face to face situation.
For the most part, I tend to stick to the topic at hand and usually resort to incivility when it is aimed at Me. The past 90 days have been rough for Me and I'm dealing with some personal issues so the control I usually exercise over My temper has not been stellar, to be sure.
I do have to wonder though at EZ's belief that people come here to change someones mind. I have not found these kinds of formats and those who frequent them to be here for anything other then to try and prove how much better they are then everyone else. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part, people come here to call each other names in a safe environment. They say things that they would not have the balls to say in a face to face situation.
In a lot of ways, the internet has been the major reason for the decline in civility in our nation. There is no immediate consequence for bad behavior. Even being banned is no real punishment as there are dozens of other forums in which to get attention.
Anyway. Those are My two coppers on the subject.

Hey! Now hang on a minute Leah. My daughter told me I was the best dad in the world!
How much do you think the archives of The U S Message Board will be worth to the historians of tomorrow?
Anyone who is polite gets the same in return. Not hard to understand, and it leads to actual discussion.
funny you see yourself as polite? too too funny! if that's polite I'll take snarky.. any day.
I'm the most polite, intelligent, swave, and de-boner poster on the internets.
Wouldn't one think that the way to get other's to think about "your point of view" would be by civil discourse? Do you who post your political agendas (on both sides of the spectrum) really think that by calling others names and using foul language that you will sway someone to see your point of view?
Or........do you think that maybe, just maybe, if you post more like Navy1960 or Toro, to name a few off the top of my head, you may just get someone to take what you say seriously?
Think about that the next time you make a thread that you want to be taken seriously on current issues in politics, the environment, etc.
Civil Discourse.

Interesting thought A-J. But I'd say whatever the worth is, it won't be any more or any less than any other political message board.

That presumes that people want to sway people to their point of view.
I suspect a lot of people posting here are simply posting to insult people because it makes them feel better about their own sorry asses.
