That's not an accurate comment about what I thought of the idea. Nor what I think now. When people do that [misinterpret, misquote, distort], they don't really want to consider ideas and information and adapt their own ideas accordingly, they are just wanting to "win". That's the way I read your and his comments too, and especially about faking or spinning a "win". When politics and failed ideologies enters into a discussion, lots of noise, varying degrees of hate, many must be right no matter what, the attempted ends justify the means results. The b*tch always remains the law of unintended consequences, and how that type of person or group virtually always loses hugely on the long run. It's even the primary reason for failed ideologies, and probably similar for the years of progressives using the epithet of racism for any real but mostly imagined critique against the holy of holies of the ideological failures. -ng- The ends always do justify the means, after all. /sarc Hell, I can even envision massively extreme acts (like a suitcase nuke going off in NY and/or other major cities) that may have me lean towards wasting entire terrorist families etc., assuming the existence of reliable proof that ISIS or similar was the source.

When people do that [misinterpret, misquote, distort], they don't really want to consider ideas and information and adapt their own ideas accordingly, they are just wanting to "win". Did you once say that you called people "racist" in order to "win" a debate? At those times, did you think you would "consider ideas and information and adapt your own ideas accordingly" based on views of the people that you called racists? You and I have different ideas on what "winning" means. I don't think you or I have ever "won" or "lost" a discussion here at SI. We just express our opinions until the other party gets tired or has better things to do.
