She threw me off her thread because she disagreed with me and didn't even try to argue logically. Isn't that what a narrow minded bigot would do? Someone who shuts out other people without even trying logical discussion. There's no way to conclude that Poet is a narrow-minded bigot on the basis you cite. The LWP is a moderated thread designed as a sanctuary for liberals. It does not allow argument and debate. I am not a liberal and I like to debate, so I do my debating over here. It's simple courtesy to respect the charter of the thread. Poet's enforcing that charter is hardly an indicator of bigotry. Karen

No, no. no. She threw you off her thread because you didn't respect the header, which clearly states that the LWP is a liberal hangout. We didn't want fist fights at our clubhouse , just as RWEP is closed to the LWP crowd. A narrow minded bigot would exclude people before they ever post, but Poet gave everyone a chance. This is the designated place for debate. That's how we set it up, and why this is an unmoderated thread, and a DESIGNATED FREE SPEECH ZONE. You have a right to say what you please, however disjointed and small minded, just as we have a right to ridicule it.
