Thanks for your reply JanS.

To be honest, I’m kind of scared to meet people here if what I’m seeing on this blog represents how people behave. Some people here are downright aggressive and it’s like a collective or a cult or something the way people get ganged up on and it’s a bit frightening. Do people call each other on the phone and organize this stuff, or are people really online that often?

I don’t think I’m too interested in the heated debates based mostly on what I’ve seen here on this blog. Lots of competition and confusing information with opinion slathered all over it but little real substance for me, personally, because I am not interested in political debates.

Call me old fashioned but I miss the good old days when people maintained some composure and anonymous opinion wasn’t generally accepted as commonplace.

And Dawsonct, I wouldn’t even try to understand the information behind the link you provided (even if the link worked). Way over my head. I’m not an academic, I’m a regular person with a high school education and a good family that did alright in life regardless of politics, polls, and before blogs even existed.
