I posted a political thread in The Loft thinking we might have intelligent back and forth discussion without those of Republican persuasion being referred to as Trumptards, trumpistanis, trumpettes, etc.
"It seems impossible to have civil discussion," Maggie whined.
I posted it having read the rules months ago. Well, it appears my recollection was off base. Perhaps a Mod would delete or close the thread I started. If I get dinged it's my own fault for not re-reading the rules.
But can a Mid tell me? Would The Tavern be a place we could have friendly back and forth? Is it possible The Loft IS a place for that? Is there ANYPLACE on Debate Politics where we can sanely discuss politics where the opposition must engage in civil discussion without riding the infraction line into oblivion?
"Civility is a must" no longer seems to apply . . .
