Forcing commenters to register with Blogger hasn't really helped cut down on the personal invective around here. This is sad. I know it's hot out, I know we all disagree (that, in fact, is the point of this blog), but there's no need to heap abuse on others.
So once again let me ask that you leave your political opinions unrestrained, but please check yourselves when heaping personal abuse on another poster. Everyone's entitled to an opinion.
Please don't:
--Call someone an idiot, or another name
--Insult someone else's intelligence, loyalties or beliefs in a personal way (it's okay to disagree, not to insult)
--Make disparaging comments about someone's life outside of blogging
--Make fun of another poster
--Accuse someone of being a staffer for a rival campaign
--Be a jerk
This last rule is the most important.
Now, this post is not aimed at the majority of you, but at a small minority of folks who abuse others constantly. You know who you are. Shape up.

Barry Goldwater,Bluecoat and others...
I just wanted to apologize is all I didnt do it to suck up.I don't have any issues with any of you There is only one blogger here who I have been really critical of and he knows who he is.
Barry Goldwater... you do what you think is best I am not going to ask you to remove the post.
Bluecoat....I will try to be more respectful of everyone's opinion including the person in question as long as he shows me the same courtesy
I also apologize to Ct Keith and any others who I may have of been rough on.
I want to continue on the blog If you feel that I shouldn't continue to be here let me know and I will stay away or go to a different blog.
I don't want anyone to leave--just to make an effort to be civil. That's all.
GC.. I am planning to stay I may even put something on my blog at some point.
Bluecoat... I agree with what you are saying and you have your opinion on Joe and mine on Ned maybe they dont agree but thats fine I just wanted to clear the air and I am really glad that I did.
