When you have this many people inter-acting, and when the topics can be so "hot button", I think it's a wonder it isn't more contentious and combative. I think this site does a good job of setting the tone and moderating.
It's like a somewhat dysfunctional family. Maybe so'nso goes on a rant at the drop of a hat, but over time you see their heart is in the right place, they just have a short fuse. They get over it quick too, and don't hold a grudge, it's all good. Someone else is fixated on a certain agenda or topic, they are a one trick pony, period. You can beat 'em with a stick all day long, they simply can't learn a new trick. Some people are the Gumby's of the world - they bend one way, then the other. And we ALL have good days and bad days where sometimes we can disagree with respect, versus just banging out something snarky or taking that cheap shot.

to all the moderators at HT for all the hard work they do to keep this site running as well as it does. (If'n I were a mod here, I would have locked some of y'all up and fed you fish head soup and bones by now 
)
