No, TTR, you won't get away with that! It was not about Democrats and I was not spoiling for a fight.   Read what you wrote. You can try to re-frame it or deny it later, but these threads stay around to haunt you! So I will quote it:

I am increasingly put off by Dean supporters who are inexorably partial in their intra-party stance... Like kids kicking
sand in their friends eyes because the bully is comming their way... It is just plain stupid to fracture party unity...

So you said very specifically that Dean's supporters were like little children having a tantrum and that we were downright stupid. You presumably knew by reading this thread that I was a Dean supporter. Therefore, I took this to be an attempt to marginalize and infantilize my point of view.

I may have been wrong about your intentions, and I'm willing to accept that if you say it's so. Like I said, you seem a fine fellow. But I was not just making it up...it does kind of sound that way from what you wrote.
