My original response to you was ironically rejected. No personal insults to any other posters and I can assure you it was not rejected by "hardcore leftists"...

"Funny, this hard core leftist has voted your comments, snarkys, Sylvia, and all the other right wing posters civil every time. I rather have your posts out there for the world to see, and then rebut, rather than censor them before hand. I have been suspended a couple times because I rarely ever vote anything uncivil. That is reserved for posts that engage in personal attacks against other posters.

Meanwhile, I've had posts rejected clearly for being "leftist" rather than being uncivil." 

you tell me
