Indeed. I can see both sides of this. Not sure if this makes me just unbiased or more 'middle' than I thought Some left leaning people scream racism at anyone voicing concerns. Some right leaning people go the opposite way and blast anyone with a differing opinion as a 'loony lefty' or indeed..bleeding heart. Its ridiculous and people seem to just be able to see one or the other, when I (and you seemingly ammi...) see both.`

This has been a huge issue over the months especially in this section. Selective reading. It should be possible to have a debate without insulting or generalizing everyone. We used to be able to do that here anyway. SD is just a mess recently and it annoys me as this was one of my fave sections of the site, but now its the same repetitive garbage, insults and such over and over again and it is offputting to everyone really.
