Posts from sites like Hoffpo, etc. have generally been polished and worked on until the author is satisfied with them and relatively sure they are making their case clearly. Posts here are generally part of an ongoing discussion. They are usually not meant to be the final word in what someone thinks about a particular topic.

Yes, Gary, you're right. And to add to that, we're a community and were once friends (for the most part) until discussing our political leanings polairized some of us. The people whose articles we posted here to discuss we didn't know from adam and were not friends, part of our community.

That I can understand. Maybe its not "fair." But I don't think its reasonable for anyone here to expect that Jess is going to let you in after being kicked off this board. She's allowed to pick and chose who her friends are.

Like I said, I don't care, really. I have no desire to go over there.

Milo, I think you are missing the point.
For me, my issue is I feel betrayed by members here that take my posts over there for the
simple purpose of mocking me as an individual.
It's proven that I need to be very careful what I post cause I can only believe it will be carried over
there for entertainment purposes. If ya wanna call it that.

1. What about people who post the author's article, along with the readers' comments from said blog? Aren't those comments the same type of conversational posts that we get here?
2. I'm not sure why the lack of polish should matter. People have to learn that this is the Internet, and your posts--no matter how--off-the-top-of-the-head are being made public. If one is not communicating clearly, and that is causing misunderstandings or disagreements, take the time to clarify. I think most of us here do that already.
