Try telling the original poster to take down the quotes nicely.

No need to criticize and shit trash the entire thread because of a minor faux par. This is a public discussion thread,... posters here will occasionally make mistakes. We can correct them in a more compassionate and thoughtful manner,... absent any need to go bonkers and/or rude.

Jeez,... the purpose here is not to stifle conversations and discussions but to encourage them as we seek to protect, defend, and expand our Democracy. Every error or mistake made here can not immediately provoke a lynching mob screaming for removal, banishment, and ostracization. Have more patience for God's sake. Make this place a more inviting location where mistakes are tolerated and turned into a civilized learning expedition where we guide and help each other along.

We are all here for nearly identical reason,... on the mission for the betterment of the society we live in. We are in a defcon 5 red zone period here with this monster presently in our White House.

Don't get tangled up in or lost on - gotcha - adamantly intend to silence you campaigns - because I don't like the way you expressed yourself or said that. There is important work to be done,.. we need to keep our noses at the grindstone. Absent allowing personality clashes to clutter or hamper our paths to restore, solidify, and buttress our Democracy from within.
