That's One Way To Win Debates
-
Cape Coral, FL's council is tired of people coming to public meetings and complaining and calling them names. So they're talking about pulling the plug on commenters when they criticize the council members. Now, you can understand that the elected officials would be tired of being ripped by people with grudges, and they probably can do some kind of restrictions if they fit the time-place-manner categories, but this comes across as just shutting down dissent. Not a good look for the government. Nevertheless, the topic for those of you outside Cape Coral is whether the discourse -- on politics or on everything -- has gotten out of hand, and whether social media's contributed to the coarsening.
