If I couldn't tolerate snarky and silly posts then I wouldn't be here.

Over all, ninety percent of folks and posts here are civil and intelligent.

So, I don't ignore any individual.

Nor do I need 'safe places' ... as Harry Truman said, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."

I'm very involved politically and the worst mistake you can make in this endeavor is to not listen to your opponents no matter how ugly they get.

Although I have to say that the constant over-the-top anger of some of the Hillary supporters almost makes me want to click 'Full Ignore' ... but I won't.
