« unzercharlie : And how does it advance the discussion for you to continue to discredit everyone else because their opinions aren't stated in a way of which you approve? (rhetorical question)How do your comments continue to advance the discussion? If you've called someone an idiot, how do I discuss that? I can say, "Nuh-uh" and really beyond that, the debate is over.
If I call someone an idiot, I don't need someone else chiming in to tell me that it's not nice.
If you didn't want someone else to give their opinion on what you've said, perhaps posting your opinion on a blog isn't the route you want to go. I hear talking to walls might give you the desired result.
I know it's not nice, and I didn't say it because I couldn't form a more coherent argument. I said it because I didn't feel the need to say much else, thank you very much.
So that's it? You really feel you've made a strong argument against Huckabee's campaign. "He's an idiot, and that's all I need to say." Well, forgive me if I don't take your opinion too seriously then. Although, I'm pretty sure if I say (oh, I don't know) "Barack Obama was an idiot," you'd have plenty to say about that opinion.
All I'm asking for a little thought, and a little civility. An actual argument, instead of an outburst. Sorry if I'm asking for too much... but the "because I said so" stopped being an effective argument to me long ago.]]>
