Yeah, I just hate that this happens with some topics, especially where I can see validity on both sides but many people on each side have such a strong slant in the us vs them position that they simply dismiss anything and everything the "opposition" says.

There is a lot of discussion we should be having about the realities of protecting people from harm while protecting freedom of expression and much of the discussion is completely aimless now.

Also, out of curiosity, what name are you referring to? I must have missed something.

SDA in a political thread mention Dr Carson where we have some folks with some awfully weird ideas about his religion. I was a tad bit offended as I grew up studying SDA and Catholic doctrine (mixed household). I guess there are still acceptable prejudices. The downvotes on the post pointing out Carson would have the same problem as Romney was just relish.
