That's very nice of you to say. Unfortunately, someone around here doesn't like me, because they've been parroting my posts all day. Just watch - in a few minutes someone named buck08 will come in and cut and paste my post and post it under their name.
I think someone read my posts, it made them think, then they realized that what I was saying was 1. completely logical and reasonable and 2. went against every amount of conditioning doled out by their favorite patriot authors. So what happened is that they realized they had to protect their fragile system of beliefs and the only way they could do that was to harass and make me go away.
I give a lot of credit to guys like ice, weiss and anyone else who takes the time to chat with me. The ability to read something, understand it well enough to re-iterate and debate with means that they're pretty smart guys.
I think the people I offend are the ones who only read things that agree with them. Often when challenged in the place where they expect everyone to nod in agreement, they find that they don't even understand what they believe well enough to debate it and either end up cutting and pasting the same old nonsense from their favorite guru, or just go loony and try to disrupt the conversations...
Like I said to ice earlier - I believe in honest dealings all around - that's why my nickname is the same everywhere. If people can knock down my arguments based on facts, more power to them. But if all they can do is disrupt communications, what does that say about their ability to defend an argument? (It doesn't invalidate the argument, it just means that the person accepted it without ever having to think critically about it...)
