Don’t get too riled up or discouraged. There are certain terms that are “land mines” within FR. You just happened to trip one. The first time I posted on FR I was flamed and took it personally. Don’t make that mistake. Welcome to FR.
First time? Pretty much a regular occurrence for me. I do like to argue though, and it comes with the territory.
It may be getting worse, or not. I wish people could express contrary positions in arguments, because doing so can really strengthen the arguments we need to make for conservative principles. If everybody agrees with everything said, you don’t learn how to respond to challenge.
And with that, I’m back on the road to my vacation.
