You assume the Gore train accomplishes nothing. It's your opinion. We listen, but we don't have to agree with you.

No, you don't. I don't expect you to. I'm not even trying to persuade you. That would be like trying to persuade an evangelical that Jesus was leading him down the wrong path. I argue only to get others to understand and entertain a different idea. I am always satisfied with an "I take your point."

That means the only way to not make someone the other is to agree with them, which is pretty silly.

Of course it's silly. That's the very black and white approach that I'm objecting to. It's quite possible for fellow greens to disagree on strategy. Failure to recognize that is my complaint. Disagreeing with Gore's political strategy does not make one a flat-earther. If I want to deal with that crap, there are plenty of threads where they "think" that way.
