that sounds like an elementary school yard environment. Its a shame. I'm
reminded of an adage that says:
"Never argue with idiots. They will force you to their level where they
have more experience and you will lose."


What exactly is a newsgroup anyway? It's just a bunch of people putting
their thoughts up for all to see. If there is a sense of deterioration
that's simple, it's a matter of who is doing the posting. From my
experience, the problem is that so many right wingers are in the group
and can't contain themselves from making negative comments about
"liberals". Then people respond to the attacks and it goes back and
forth from there. If the right wingers would keep their political views
to themselves you would see the "deterioration" stop right away. But
that will never happen. They are so emotional they can't keep anything
to themselves.

Well said.

Most of the off topic political spam is conservative in nature.

While the most whine is generated when a liberal post is made.

at the risk of prolonging the death of this thread, I would disagree with
"conservative" - it's "right wing", but very very far from conservative.
