I do not want to hear *only* from any particular persuasion. I want to hear from anyone who offers facts and reason. When a point is made, I want to hear from anyone who may have another point that can be well-made with those facts and reason. Furthermore, I want them to express themself with relatively correct grammar and words so that I don't have to ask four more times exactly what they meant. If someone insists on citing "facts" that aren't or employs logical fallacies, the most common of which being: "If P, then Q. R. Therefore, S" or "post hoc, ergo proctor hoc," also know as the error of causality, and uses intentionally ambiguous wording or sentence structure and refuses to clarify when asked, then I will ignore them, troll or whatever. They offer heat and not light. They do not offer me new insights or work with me towards greater understanding or a higher truth. They do not entertain me. They bore me. And I will ignore them. If they attempt to do harm to anyone, I will insist that the appropriate authorities deal with them. Saul
