I'm sorry to disagree, Lil, but IMHO I really don't think so. I think the name calling was and is mean spirited and should not happen. If it were not, there would be an indication that it was not a serious reference.

Fact of the matter is that I've noticed that whether it's comments in reference to our previous President or in regards to policy differences, there seem to be some that believe if you can't reason things calmly ... just call people names and accuse them of being insensitive. That is not called for in my estimation. It might surprise people that there are those that feel as angry and disappointed in our current leadership as others were with our previous one. That's to be expected in a country that divided almost in two by their political persuarsion.

It seems at a site that should be focused on fun and playful interaction, that any discussion of politics should be done gently. I hope that happens.
