I did not say "lively debate", "strong opinions", or "noisy" for a good
reason. I meant to say that people in this group have shown themselves to
be hateful and mean spirited. I'm all for lively discussion and debate.
Hatefulness, rudeness, and disrepsect are inexcusable, and I don't care
what you're promoting.
