Political discussions become pretty rough sometimes, that is natural. But this is no reason to stay away from them if there is a serious political interest.

Texting has replaced writing and then there is Facebook and Twitter to occupy people on the internet.

Yes. Further, posts don't have to be aggressive to be intimidating. The regular group here, with years of online experience, does argument at a level that is a fair ways beyond what unpracticed posters can match.

It can get passionate, sometimes way too personal and outright hostile.
Still, there is room for reasonable discourse without the bomb throwing, namecalling, and personal attacks.

IMO, Joining in an established political venue can be daunting to a newbie who must prove their mettle to a tight group of long time players who tend to also have well honed swords. One has to be very well informed and intelligent, or very stupid to participate. I haven't decided which in which category I fall.....

You have strong and less strong points, as do we all, but you sure as poop aren't stupid. And you put the same thing I was thinking very well here, with a bit more poetry. (Dig, swords!)
