I am getting tired of the sniping
The personal attacks
The vitriol and the bashing

It used to be if we had different opinions we could at least share a grin and a chuckle.

Now it is all "THE RIGHT SUCKS!" "NO THE LEFT SUCKS!" "NO THE RIGHT SUCKS!"

Well IT ALL SUCKS!

I used to love reading OD for the humor and the Pretty Girls Thread!

I admit I have been guilty of all the above in the past, but this constant shooting down of other people's personalities has got to stop. Is it because you are semi anonymous that y'all think you can go for the jugular at the first hint of a post that you disagree with?

Do we really need threads that are obvious trolling like the Glenn Beck threads or the one just now about CNN and Obama?

I am thinking maybe it is a good thing I am giving away Rudy and I might have to hang on the Volvo forums from now on.

I expect that this thread will get me infractions or even banned but ya know what? This had to be said and I don't care if you ban me.

This crap is out of control and the mods seem to be more interested in scoring points off people than moderating the forum.

I can see why Bot decided to drop off...

Any person who has ever contacted the moderator or Webmaster and objected to or complained about anything her/she/other saw or read in the "Open Disscussion Forum" is personally and directly responsible for this sad turn of events. It is a true shame that the crybaby communications of these persons/frauds are not available for all to see and know. My bet is that many who shouted the loudest sniveled the most!

"someone must help me, I can't stand what I've done to myself (again and again)" is a malignant cancer that threaten's to overwelm the body of liberty for all.

Contemporary political conflict is simply a clear manifestation of this condition. The failure of the "Open Forum Disscusion" is a localized manifestation. Good luck to all, vote like it matters!
