Uh.......a high level of tolerance for other viewpoints????? Which forum have you been reading?

RRFord was about the best of the bunch, the others you mentioned, along with a few other members of their "posse" were HIGHLY intolerant of anyone who disagreed with them.

Respectful, most of the time, but highly intolerant for any opposing viewpoints.

Maybe I didn't read the forum enough,lol. I really enjoyed reading their posts even if I didn't agree with them and now most of the cons are gone.
I just don't like the personal attacks on people,when DAII calls PM, Paul this or Paul that, I didn't know he was on a first name basis with PM. I married into his extended family and grown to admire and respect him. He's always the same,always a christian even when he's not in the pulpit.

I haven't seen any nasty personal attacks. Its just a disagreement over his position on things. You can disagree with someone and it doesn't mean your treating them hatefully.

I agree with you on this, and I called DA out on it. I do not like the familiarity that he's using here with PM.

I did not marry into the family, but I have a great deal of respect for PM and truly believe that he's a man of integrity and character. I do not agree with his position on many things, but still respect him highly.

IMO people have more credit by attacking the message and not the messenger

Well if that's the case, Prax, I am coming to you to improve my FICA score.
