I was told once that the outer shell looked intact but the logic of my posts was scrambled eggs. That was at least different. I have noticed that one poorly chosen word in a throw-away post can end up causing problems that divert from the original intention-- as in my using "extremist". All I meant to convey was that I don't care for Soros usually since I group him with those others, but really liked that article. I have learned now to try to substitute something clearer when this happens, especially if I see that I really wasn't very accurate.

I am sorry people made you feel you needed to explain yourself. I think all you need to explain are your ideas. Well said.

I get that type of response all the time. Just this week I've been called, a moron, a criminal, and a fascist. And its surprising how little it takes to get hit with those labels. The moron comment came in response to my assertion that trade between nations is possible without international trade institutions like the WTO. "Criminal" came in response to asserting that there isn't some massive price fixing scheme, involving the major western oil companies and George Bush, that raises the price of gasoline by over a $1 a gallon. "Fascist" came from asserting that the Republicans aren't trying to impose a tyrannical regime over the US. I agree with, and have recomended your post
