Can you please point out where I did not discuss this civilly. You say that like I am attacking somebody? I did nothing but ask a question, and I thought I was pretty nice about it?

Not liking what people's opinions has nothing to do with civility?

I understand what your saying GA. Those political bouts a while back could have been much worse with thanks buttons available. I get your point. I never said you were wrong, did I?

There is no question GA, you were elected for your views and participation. Your views are completely valid, I am just saying, don't exclude the larger communities view's because you disagree with them. Again, I am speaking in general, (no pun intended)
