Ladies & Gentlemen: You are embarrassing yourselves

As you know, I enjoy spirited debate, and even creative name-calling.

The election is over. Trump won. Biden and Harris (and Stu) say we will survive this.

The level of acrimony is actually keeping other people from commenting. “What kind of friends do you have?” I have been asked more than once. “Well,” I reply, “they are not my friends. They are my readers.”

Some of YOU have asked me to shut others up. I declined. I will only act if comments are libelous, actually physically threatening, or attacking someone’s race, religion, ethnicity, gender, etc. (I do NOT read every comment and response.)

I will ask you, without threat of banishment, to turn it down a notch or two. Turn the page, so to speak. 😇

And do look for my next column, on mass deportations, Saturday morning. Thank you.
