Subject: RE: BS: Is it time for a gay president?
Don, it is a fruitless, pointless occupation to try to prove that another poster here whose posts you don't like is...

a racist
a bigot
a sexist
a fascist
a homophobe
a child molester

or some other very negative label like that.

You can't prove it, and the person you accuse can't disprove it either...therefore you are putting them in an impossible position unless they have the sense to just ignore your personal attacks on them and discuss issues instead.

It's a waste of time engaging in such personal character accusations, and it's a waste of time for the person you accuse to even bother responding to those accusations...because if your mind is made up (which it obviously is), then NOTHING they could possibly ever say could change it, right? So why should they even respond?

So why not just stop doing it, and talk about the social and political issues instead. Discuss the social issues themselves rather than trying to prove that some other person who is posting here is as evil and horrible in character as you have decided to believe they are.

And I advise others here to do the same. Stop trying to prove that so-and-so is a BAAAAAAAD person....and talk about the actual issues instead. Stick to the subject matter. Drop the personal abuse.
