I'm probably just going to put on ignore.


I just had two on ignore, Scott and Karen. Scott for too many left wing posts with no rhyme nor reason to them and Karen was just to frustrating to deal with. I enjoyed needling Win, and John and I have an understanding about how far either of us could go. I would miss them if Ken gets too high and mighty about what we can post.

I said:

"Whats really sad is when folks can't just discuss the issue and let the readership decide how they feel about the presented positions."

You said:

"But too many people just come by to inflict a "drive by" rhetorical comment and don't stick around to back it up or debate the point... I want to understand people's positions.. And I want them to be able to explain it to me in a logical form... And the only label I want to have assigned to me is that of a "pragmatist"."

The problem is that there will always be "drive by's" and you ain't going to get the answer you want, so whats the point of beatin the hell out of the deficient (as you see it) poster. There's a difference between scratching your ass and tearing it out Hawk. You and the rest of the readers will figure out the " shallow " label if it applies. Here's why there are times to "let it go"..........................we're experiencing one now. Violent confrontation is destructive.

The last word is yours.

Personally, I'm beginning to believe that the "liberal" participants on the FADG thread can't justify why they are liberal.. probably can't even explain their "liberal" values...
Some can. But they're a minority, yeah.

OTOH, there are a lot of kneejerk rightwingers on this site too.

My general impression (and I admit I may have biases here even I am unaware of) is that there are more liberals who cannot logically justify their positions than conservatives.
