I guess I didn't go in and read the boards we're talking about, but if someone has a different opinion than yourself it doesn't mean that their responses are not decent. If someone has a different opinion, it doesn't mean they have no mind.
If I made a board saying, " Let's eat all the babies!" ( or something equal to the horror of "BOMB IRAQ!!!!!!!!BRING THE SOLDIERS HOME!!!!!!!!!" because both imply more death of innocents.) and I got negative responses to my opinion, I wouldn't assume that the people responding had no minds and their responses weren't decent.
