from Dec 19 col. in Washington Post


"Can it be that trying to see the other guy's side simply takes too much of our time and energy? Sometimes I suspect that the desire to savage rather than convince an opponent stems from the nagging suspicion that just maybe we are on the wrong side of the logic. I mean, if you are convinced that your position is the correct one, why wouldn't you want to examine it and explain it in a way that might win a convert or two?"





I have noticed that Ron, Bobert, and Arne seem to always attack the PERSON they are argueing with, while Teribus seems to attack the "facts" that the other person brings up.


I wonder who has the stronger feeling that they are "right"?
