Well, this has been some day!
 As a result of my posting I have received some interesting, to say  
the least, responses.
Unfortunately, some of those responses have made unpleasant reading.  
More fool me for thinking I could have a reasonable discussion about  
such a topic on this forum .
 
 I'm going to provide _DATA_ here. Here are words your first post on  
the topic. They were used to describe people's postings to the group.
vitriol
bias
bigotry
intolerance
narrow-mindedness
 When you are quick to label other people with such negative emotional  
labels, please don't be surprised when they attack you back.
 BTW, on the content that actually matters in your first post, which is  
about 25% to 30% of it, I agree that Devine needs to be countered by  
sensible, rational debate, remembering she personally is nothing but a  
cheap demagogue and impervious to actual reason. However you could  
learn that if you don't want to receive emotional language in your  
correspondence, you should avoid it yourself.
