Thanks for taking care of this. It's unfortunate there has become such a rift between Gingrich/Santorum supporters here. I could see this thread going that way early on...but I was hoping it wouldn't go this far!

Thanks for taking care of this tonight, Southern Doc. I was out all evening listening to Eric Metaxas speak on Bonhoeffer at my church! A much more enjoyable task, I assure you!

Good call to shut it down. I tried taking a more direct approach just to get people to think about what they're doing to each other here with some of these posts, but it may have just made matters worse. I'll probably be posting much less here than usual for a while. I'm hopeful that once we finally have a nominee we can come back together here to unite around a common cause again, and put some of the bitterness we've witnessed from some here behind us.

Are we getting close to needing to lock this thread? It's almost a little frustrating how we can't keep the Santorum/Gingrich sides more cordial with each other! Any thoughts?

I don't know what to say anymore. This is disappointing and I just read some more of this on QVA's two man race thread. On a positive side, I saw that justgrace edited her posts on All-in-for-Mike's I Need a Break thread.

Lord have mercy on us.

Ok, this is really getting out of hand. The topic is not serving its purpose and is frankly destructive to the community the way in which some have chosen to post in it. Is it time to lock?

I'm not sure what to recommend at this point. The way things have been, locking it would likely offend someone and make them think we are avoiding discussion that could be negative toward Santorum! It is getting a little frustrating, and this thread makes it seem like justgrace is trying to pull people in to keep things stirred up.

Well I've given her a warning after her latest comment. I hope I struck the right tone. I don't think it's worth locking the thread yet. Frankly I'm afraid this sort of thing is likely to continue as long as justgrace, 4Huckabee, and a few others continue to post here. They rarely cross any hard and fast lines, but they often tread just close enough to the line to get things stirred up. I've recently decided to be more assertive in confronting comments like these. We'll see what effect it has, if any.

And just as I was typing that I expected 4Huckabee to weigh in at any moment in justgrace's defense, there he is, right on cue.

If anyone here tinks I was wrong to say what I did, please let me know here and I will retract/restate my comments accordingly. If you support what I said, on the other hand, please weigh in so that we can present a united front.

Thanks.
