I don't think it's salutary to talk too negatively about other threads, or the posters on them. We can probably get our points across in a general way, without mentioning specific threads. IMO

Why not? I don't always agree with John or Dale on this thread, but I don't think there is anything wrong with them. May be just a little.

On some of those other threads, how could some of them believe in some of the things they believe in and still lead a half way normal life.

How can you see somebody suffer, but its okay because you think they are the enemy (not that you know they are the enemy - just that you think they are with absolutely no proof). Its the same in countless situations. Even if they are the enemy how can you see and enjoy someone elses's suffering.

I've simply assumed it's a defensive reaction. They publicly supported the invasion and don't wish to admit they were wrong.

As you know Bill's thread has lots of that.

Iktomi:

I was responding to this post of JohnM... He mentioned Bill's thread and I mention it in return . However, I do not think I named any names.. My post would really turn to vitriol
if I did. And this is a moderate thread. :)
