19. The fact is we are a big tent
Not everyone on every side of the tent see eye to eye. Frankly I wouldn't want them to. Sometimes there are going to be clashes of positions. Sometimes there are going to be major emotional issues tied up in these discussusions.

Add into this mix the fact that online communication carries with it a bit of bravado on occaisions. Snarkiness is part and parcel of most online communities. People have to be careful that it does not go too far. But some amount of toughness is required in a political forum.
