You know, I'm not interested in just just dumb negative things being said back and forth, but personal criticism that makes a point is valid and important and necessary in my opinion.

Masbury banned me from his clips; not because I abused him personally, but because he wants to be able to attack his political opponents while they can't answer back.

If you want to read petty nonsense of a verbal hostility and malignity, read the garbage Hillary bashers post as they amen each other over the new Hitler who is Bill and Hillary.

So I can't answer masbury's endless petty attacks on Hillary, but I have been able to point out the hypocrisy of a minister snipping away as does masbury!
And I gues...

And I guess he doesn't like it, so as all of his sort do, he wants to ban completely so that he can safely shoot without getting shot back at!

Can give it but can't take it!

@swirl - amen to that!

Without limiting debate on ideas, resolutely throttling put-downs on clippers.

When clippers insult clippers, readers are discouraged from becoming commenters, and we all learn less.

Of course that means that people who do not have the courage to defend their ideas and who are quite often innately phonies rule and brave people with ideas get silenced. (No I'm not into just insulting people, but people who launch attacks themselves should not be free to pretend to be 'above it all' as masbury wishes.)

So tell me folks, why is it that people such as masbury can throw stones at people all day long but demands protection from someone who t...

If he has a right to say Hillary is not qualified to be President, a serious charge, why can I not use my judgment likewise to say that a person who acts as he does is not qualified to be a minister?

He makes himself a public politician when he politics in a judgmental way! Such a one should be exposed to the political slings and arrows that doing this entails! Yet he prefers censorship. What if he had no right to post his petty clips? Would he like that?

Censorship of any sort is only about power and control! No one is forced to read words, words cannot make anyone do anything and people who are afraid of words are afraid of themselves and their own abilities except when they are merely tyrants of greater or lesser aspect!

So true. It takes a gutless coward to hide behind a keyboard and anonymity to verbally annhilate someone - and it's all couched sanctimoniously and self-servingly as the "pursuit of truth". Nonsense - it's pure, unadulterated egotism, hate and an overpowering will to crush and dominate. These are the bullys and the trolls that crawl out of the woodwork and spoil it for everyone.

So michelle hides behind anonymity in order to call people names!

She hates hate and name calling but her whole comment is only hate and calling people names!

And her righteous indignation requires her to want to impose censorship on people who do what just is herself doing.

And masbur...

And masbury, having the same agenda, praises her name calling and hate and fear mongering!

Indeed!

So true. It takes a gutless coward to hide behind a keyboard and anonymity to verbally annhilate someone -

Just think how silly this remark is.

Would michelle really clap her hands if these 'evil' people were not hiding behind their keyboards but instead bravely pounding their words hot breath all over her lovely face?

Would she say, "Oh brave sir or madam, I do so admire your fine courage to tell me to my face that I am a hypocrite. Oww I think I love you!"? I think not.

No, she would be doing the same thing, trying to censor them!

Of course there is another possibility to consider. I do not know the lady, or even if she really is a lady, but not instead perhaps she i...

Of course there is another possibility to consider. I do not know the lady, or even if she really is a lady, but not instead perhaps she is a man pretending to be a lady.

But in either case, perhaps she is tough as nails and truly is frustrated not to be able to get her physical hands on people, and she claims they are cowards because if they were in front of her, she would pound the stuffing out of them!

That is a possibility too!
