Please, please let's not allow political posts of any kind on TN-Bird.
Civility is at such a low point in our society today that no political subject
can be discussed without rudeness and arrogance dominating. A recent attempt
to allow discussion of wind farms on Tex-Bird should illustrate to all of us
that it won't work. One zealot dominated that list for days and personal
attacks and insults were just awful until the moderator called a halt. I want
to read about bird sightings on TN-Bird, not have to wade through dozens of
posts containing opinions which will solve nothing but will create much
hostility. When we make a "point" we need to remember that "points" on things
are sharp and inflict pain when someone is poked with that "point". Let's keep
our list kind and respectful. If people want to have a political forum
available, let them begin one on a separate list.
