I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Alpal:  That is odd you think Melissa knows exactly who the deleters are and you state we don't need to turn their names into her.  I think you might want to hold your breath because I finally see light in the Darkness.  Since this is Blue's thread, I will hold my actions until I hear further what Blue wants to do.  But even if this is considered Blue's thread because she named it, I would like to think the thread belongs to all who take part in it and any one of us should have the right to try to save it if we can.  Just my thoughts.  Thank you.

Medigal - just want to make it clear that I don't think Melissa should come on here and tell us the names. I do think the software needs to be changed so that when you report a post a post pops up telling who reported the post. I also think a reporter should have to indicate which BCO rule has been broken to justify reporting the post.

Actually, they don't. Well, maybe just a little - sort of like broccoli. They're yummy!

I come back here and now I'm reading about posts being deleted.  Who's post/s?

Yes, I did post the graphic of Palin's "target."  The ones the dems put out were "bulls eyes."  Bob Beckel, a democrat, said this has been going on for years.  And he's a liberal dem.  Here's a little of his bio.

He resumed his career as a political consultant until Walter Mondale asked him to manage his 1984 campaign for the presidency. As national campaign manager, he oversaw the successful race for the Democratic nomination. He holds a B.A. from Wagner College in Staten Island, New York.

OMG! about floralgal's links.  There is not one Scintilla of Evidence that this was caused by anyone.  Geez!  Drop it for Pete's sake.  Do you not recognize that this conversation is dividing this country even more instead of bringing them together for the good of the victims of the shooting? 

Auburn University is the National Champion. 

Somebody is having a ton of fun at our expense. From now on I will not let my emotions show if I even comment on a deleted post. I think Melissa needs to know how we feel about posts and threads being deleted but saying anything here just seems to feed the beast. On the other hand I'm also sure Melissa doesn't want a looong list of PMs to go thru. Darned if you do , darned if you don't. (changed to darned to keep it clean.)

Edited to say: Now I will get in trouble brussels sprouts cooked any way icky.

Brussel sprouts with peanut butter pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole thing.

Welcome to all the new gals!  We do have some fun on this thread ... please don't hesitate to post, we're open to any new topics!

I'm off to an exciting day of boring reports and my favorite ... shoveling snow! We got a few inches last night and freezing rain is on the menu for today.

Funny how one person's vitriol is another person's sanity. I respect Krugman highly. And I don't always agree with him. His opinion has been based on research and facts, to ME, anyway. But that's what makes the world go round. Some people love Beck and can't see his vitriol like I do.

All this reminds me of the abortion clinic bombings, where rhetoric incited the action of a few sane men who knew exactly what they were doing. Rhetoric has changed a tiny bit, so thankfully some of the threat has diminished. We'll have to come to that point as a nation regarding our gun and killing rhetoric, too.

Krugman wasn't targeting the left or the right in his article .. just stating his opinion.

I agree with him .. there is a difference between bad manners and calls for implicit or explicit violence.

Both sides are guilty of carrying bad manners too far into the realm of incitement.

I don't know enough about politics to post comments but I do follow your thread.  Thank you for the welcome though.

My grandson thinks that brussell sprouts fresh from the market are good raw -just peel off the leaves one by one. I let him have them all.

BinVA,

Sounds like that's what happens here with the deletes. Someone who disagrees, wants to remove the ones he/she disagrees with.

Sharon50 - If you've read some of these posts, we don't know that much about politics either.  (just kidding, some are actually very well informed) I just say how I feel and ask questions.
