Politics is simply part of our life and unfortunately modern politics is about making those who you do not agree with look somewhat less that patriotic, or civil or human. Unfortunately this genie is out of the bottle and will not be put back in until a majority of people say enough and vote that way. Whether we like it or not, many of our fellow hobbyists are from the political extremes. People from the extremes seldom speak kindly of those who oppose their views. But they have a right to speak their minds as long as they do not try to strip the basic humanity away from those who oppose their views - this does not mean that they will not rip and shread within the limits of what is considered decent by a neutral third person.
