That's at least once a day and sometimes twice.

What's up is that we still have a primary race going on and some posters can't/won't engage a civil discourse. Others are so thin skinned that they take offense at anything that doesn't support their candidate. We've all seen some pretty outrageous comments being made on this board and we've seen posters who put the worst possible spin on innocent statements.

ETA: Just served on another jury at 3:45 CDT. 2nd time today. Month to date total is now 17.
