Wow, you are smoothe, but these are still insults even with the smoothe coating you lend to them.
Some people are wired to take it as an inslut when someone disagrees with them.
When you disagree with me, I don't take it as an insult. When you call me a traitor, or an idiot, or a troll, "out of touch with reality," or an Obama supporter -- I take that as an insult. If you remember correctly, you spent quite a lot of time on a different thread calling me such names when I disagreed with your political thinking.
Insulting someone is a lot different than disagreeing with them.
I work hard at keeping anger out of my posts; if some FReepers are insulted by the fact that I disagree with them, that's out of my control and that ball is entirely in their court.
