I have read your posts and can see validity in your arguments.. Your description of yourself,in your bio. describes it " I think, therefore I am" ( Ann Rynd) embraces that concept... WE all have thoughts about everything. Expressing them in someway whether it be with civility or anger is what Centrist means to me. I am aware of one thread that will not tolerate opines.... All of the information posted there has to be documented.. Trouble with this, for me, is that most of the documentation on that particular thread is all blogs and/or articles from very right wing publications or thinkers... If one posts an opposing argument from a more progressive or liberal thread....such as MoveON.org.. etc etc. they are sometimes banned. It's like a game of tennis that no one can win because the ball keeps being batted back and forth and when there is an out there are no referees to call the ball out... Therefore there are no winners... It's just batting back and forth.. Is there an object to this...? Most of what is posted on this thread is documented from the source. A lot of what is posted is controversial. I would imagine that is one asked ones opinion of one article there would be a response. Mary C. seems to be willing to expose her opines... But a lot of us... me included are gun shy. I just don't think sharing information is worth the aggravation of being attacked by those who disagree... That is one reason this thread if valuable to me... The feeling that one will not be attacked and often times as is the case with other threads, venomously... personally.. as the messenger is WRONG.. Maybe it's just the information is distorted or wrong. Posters should not be attacked imo.
