In reply to Re: Politics not in itselt uncivil IMHO, posted by lil' jimi on April 18, 2003, at 1:29:22

My many stands on issues that will prove very unpopular here on babble. And that, for the sake of politeness, I have kept to myself.

However, I will state them very civilly.

I wonder if I can continue to be liked and respected here afterwards? Can you all like and respect people who feel differently than you on issues dear to your heart?

Racism is near and dear to my heart. And I have trouble feeling the same way about those who express racist views. I will express some views that you may find just as abhorrent, although they are perfectly mainstream and probably as widely accepted in society as the type of views expresssed more commonly on babble. Will you accept that I feel differently about those issues, and accept me anyway? Will you agree, in your heart, that good people can disagree about charged issues. Or will you feel differently about me, as I feel differently about those who express racist views.

Politics may be able to be discussed civilly. But will even civil discussions of things that people feel violently about disrupt the supportive nature of this board?
