Indeed it is. Why ban or block people you don’t like or don’t agree with when you can ignore them. We’re a small dysfunctional family on the inter webs who tend to eat their own. There are some who can debate well and others who are here to spew hate, anger and frustration. If you come here to tell people how much you hate liberals or conservatives you’ll eventually just be ignored or create an echo chamber that will soon bore you. If you’re well read and articulate you will enjoy the small but intimate group of posters on JPP.
