Some people got tired of dealing with Roscoe, Dane, TexasForever, CulturalJihad and their ilk and went looking elsewhere

So, now you have brought it over here?

I will gladly say that these same people you list do NOT mention your name likewise, although they could.

Why do you intend on starting trouble?

I guess I should have included you in the list.

Prior to their arrival, when we disagreed we debated and required the other side to provide links and/or cites to back up their assertions. When I first arrived here I was taken to task for my support of asset forfeiture in it's current form by Jim Robinson, OWK, tpaine and others. It got warm, but never was I flamed. I would make a point and they would counter. I was wrong in my positions for a number of reasons. It bagan to become clear to me that on that issue I was out of step with my positions on other Constitutional issues, after a time I came to understand this fact and modify my position(s) on asset forfeiture. Always those individuals responded with logic and humor - never invective and personal insults.

That debate would never occur today on FR, because the afore-mentioned individuals, when confronted with a tough call intellectually, fold up their tents and resort to distortion, distraction and just outright flames. Do I have a tendancy to pop off now and then? Yes - with those posters. But I don't suffer fools lightly and they try every ounce of my patience. Which is why I ignore them now.

Sorry if you don't like the facts, but that is what they are. BTW - That response you quoted wasn't "bringing something over here," it was a response to a question to another poster. So if you don't like my post, at least have the decency not to mischaracterize it - refute it with facts and logic.
