I appreciate what you say and I agree: At the end of the day, most of us are on the same side (nay, in the same quadrant), even though we may support different candidates.
Honestly, I find these message boards quite disturbing. I applaud them for providing opportunities to create bonding social capital, but many of the posts are quite negative and offensive, detracting from any social benefit they potentially create. I sometimes don't know why I even scan them. Still, I appreciate those posters who can debate and deliberate without debasing their challengers and devolving into a morass of insults.
Cheers.
