And it's no secret that I too have recently taken a lot of time off, practically the entire summer, but I think the reasons I did were different. I won't go into the sordid details but, I did also have the same thoughts as you two. But I'll tell ya point blank, yes the CS was full of conservative friends when it started, and we'd get a liberal come in every once and awhile and troll the joint up with some nasty comments, and then it went back to just us. Now it seems that there are quite a few liberals that have decided to come in here and join in the chat and act normal. This is all fine and dandy with me. I'm certain that's what Foxy had in mind when she started it, a place where anyone could come and chat without the vile, caustic rudeness like the rest of the board. Well, I too know what SL means seeing what others say else where on the board and then seeing them in here. The way I feel about that is, if you don't like them out in other places on the board, then you don't have to like them in here. But for the sake of keeping the peace and playing by the rules in here, I just ignore them. It's easy enough to do.
Kinda interesting though why any liberal would want to come in here after all the years of running us down like they did.
So, enough is enough.
Excuse me, but not one damned word of the bolded from what you wrote is appropriate for the CS, it goes against the very idea of the CS! That was really, really, really crappy of you in every possible way,
007 . Shame on you.
Interesting that you speak about "Liberals" this way. This just confirms the sense among virtually every Liberal on this board that the CS is really for Conservatives, that "Liberals" are only tolerated when it is convienient. And now, based on what you wrote, it is abundantly clear to me that Liberals are really not welcome in the CS at all, this has all been just smoke and mirrors the entire time.
And just to let you know, what you say about the behavior of "Liberals" on this board is probably what most Liberals think of many "Conservatives" on this board. So much for us treating each other like human beings.
Your posting just broke every bit of trust that could have existed here in the CS. You just destroyed it.
Gee, thanks. I think USMB needs a reset. Your words prove my point.
