I don't....... particularly when I am confident I am right. All that research was done to present, as factually & objectively as possible why I disagreed with you........ "I do believe that I pointed out that jj's opinion did not outweigh Scott's opinion. That they were equal, and jj should accept that." "Your opinion is no more important than his. This is America, the land you love, the home of the FREE. Freedom of speech, remember? Tolerance...isn't that a virtue?" I agree everyone should have an equal opportunity to speak freely. However, that certainly doesn't automatically make their opinion have equal weight, make it equally right, or that it must be widely accepted in that manner. Nor does it mean that all speach should be free from intolerance of another's POV, or that expressing intolerance is always wrong......... particularly if there are good reasons to express intolerance..... like when someone repeatedly pushes a one sided POV that lacks clearly lacks credibility, attacks or denounces others with clear bias, deception, and one sided extremist views, yet it is presented as though it were factual. Hope you have a nice weekend too Scott. Ö¿Ö
