I don't like bullies, either, DV. SOmething we can agree on, anyway! But I did not assert I was a majority. I was responding to your exagerrated claim that you knew "none".
My anger is not that you might have a different opinion, a fact which, fundamentally, I celebrate even when I am up in arms. It is stirred up when I think intentional distortion and twisting is being used.
I don't ostracize people who are interested in communication, no matter what their opinion ios; and even if I did the only means I would have of doing so is by dropping into silence, as I have no weight or authortiy in this community other than as an individual poster.
I think Obama's general outlines in his energy speech were useful, helpful, and forward-looking.
