yes. I see. I agree with Euterpe. I feel hurt when people come by just to be disruptive. If they do that than Dale has to waste all that time banning them, and we also lose valuable pov's. Honesty about one's opinions and politeness are not mutally exclusive. I never pull my punches on my ideas- only on the personal crap that could attend the ideas- and which is worthless anyway. Demonizing opponents never adds to the flow of ideas, imo. I use demonizing broadly, to denote negative comments thrown at whole groups of people.
