So no, not especially my side....... The main reason for my assignment of sides was that you seem to have bought into the notion that one side is absolutely right and one side is absolutely wrong, an indicator of polarization. The very first thing I noticed you saying that wasn't polarized was in your last post, a recognition that some on "your side" have a chip on their shoulders, too. Usually when people don't want to be affiliated with a side, they make occasional statements that suggest that they understand that there is some fault and some excess on both. I have repeatedly disassociated myself from those who would scrape "in God we trust" off of coins, acknowledged hostility and excess on both sides, indicated acceptance of displays of religiosity less obtrusive or symbolic than the TC in a courtroom, elicited further explanation and clarification of opposition positions, and offered approaches for compromise. Since you're not doing likewise, I assumed adherence to a side. Seems reasonable to me.
