I don't think it is bickering when people disagree about an issue and go back and forth.  But the name calling and the "yes you did/no I didn't" is bickering. 

There are those on the forum that think any discussion is ripe for hijacking the thread.  We've got some new blood in the last couple of months, but I suspect that they, me and a lot of others just get fed up with the silly name calling. 

In my view, there are a lot of very serious issues facing the country, next year is an election year and I think it can be very useful to really discuss these issues.  MM, sometimes you have even changed my view and given me something to think about, as do others.  If anyone wants to bicker and name call - why not go over to Face book or one of the news sites and in the comments, you can name call to your hearts content.
