Let’s Take It Down A Notch, Shall We?

Folks, politics is a rough and tumble game. It has always been civil on top with wallowing with the pigs underneath. I remember using my lifetime tickets to check out what was going on in the House when I was wandering around D.C. about 10 years ago, and one Republican referred to Charlie Rangle as “my esteemed colleague from New York.” The way he said it, though, meant “the asshole from NY.”

Now, I like rough and tumble politics. Always have. I’ve mentioned previously, when I’ve written a similar post here, that I started out playing on the NJ.com Hardball Politics forum, which was known as the Toilet Forum. It was pretty nasty. The moderators didn’t even like moderating it. However, every once in a while they had to crack down.

Now, I’ll take the blame for the comments here getting more and more nasty. It’s my site. I pay the bills. I write the posts. What I would like is for everyone to take a step back and think what they’re writing. Is it getting too personal? Should you really be involving family? Are you going too far? Are you going beyond normal pig-mud politics?

Let’s all dial it back a bit, shall we? I don’t want to pinpoint anyone at this time. I want robust debate. Heck, I miss John (I’m actually a bit concerned for him). Take a look at The Code on the sidebar.

Maybe I need to post more cute things?
