niggly I made much the same point on one of the political threads. And one of our longesr posting and respected members actually had a post deleted for expressing her opinion on this very subject rather eloquently. Her post was obviously reported by the subject.
The annoying thing is, as someone whose political leanings are to the left, is that I am being forced to distance myself from some discussions that I would rather support, by bringing reasoned and thoughtful persuation to the thread. I would be ashamed to throw in my lot with the 'heavies'.
I do hear the occasional sweet voice of reason from the left from some posters with whom I'd be happy to support. I'd also love to debate issues such as poverty, which means different things to different people.
I'm waiting now for the posts saying 'if you can't stand the heat' and 'if you think this is bad then' which will inevitably follow. That's not the point. There are those whose opinions are not being heard - only those who shout the loudest and most aggressively.
