Well, well, well...

I've kinda kept out of this food fight because seems that I have become one of the more popular punching bags of "guestdom" and Bush apologists but...

...with that said, yeah, there are times when posts need to be deleted or threads closed which has nuthin' to do with one's posting history, reputation, etc...

Okay, a little "comic relief" doesn't kill a thread but when a poster's only motivation is to highjack the spirit of a discussion or debate then those posts should be yanked... I've had many of my threads highjacked by the same ol' IP's... (Joe knows who they are...)... There was a period of time when I couldn't hickup without one certain individual responding with the same ol' crap... We all know who that the indivual is...

An' yeah, it does make you angry when you made the effort to put forth a "thought out" opinion only to have someone, who obviously has no real rebuttal, to resort to name calling... Name callin', for those folks who might not have taken' "Debating 101", is ***not*** a rebuttal...

But I can see how we have all come to such a point... I mean, all one has to do is look around the polorization that has set upon our society... And though, IMO, most of it has can be blamed on the dogmatism of Bushites, those of us on the other side have ceratinly gone for the bait more often than we should... Speaking of the Bushites, as their positions have become less and less defendable it is no wonder that most of the name calling is coming from them... Yeah, if one wants to say "Hey, Bobert's pointing fingers", fine... I am doing just that!!! Guilty as charged... But those are my obseravtions...

I mean, just look at how much CarolC gets attacked personally??? And for what??? Making good arguments??? Or Amos??? Or me???

Like I said, if someone can't keep up witha discussion intellectually and finds throwing stink bombs at folks who can, give those stink bombs the ax...

IMHO...
