Usually people give up or leave when they can't defend their positions or know they are wrong.

You are right, Ruiner.
Or, people try to have logical well thought out arguments and those with whom they are debating, resort to nasty comments. As has been the case with many people I have seen on this sight. Saying that someone should remain involved when they feel they are being spoken to in a disrespectful way, is simply ignorant. As is your post 44.
my dad (HoustonCurmudgeon) introduced me to gopc's writing here, on another forum and in a couple of papers he writes for. he makes great sense, knows exactly what he is talking about (a trait you may wish to work on) and sticks to his conservative agenda. wild, and uninformed speculation as to why he is leaving is of no use to anyone. given that the exact opposite of your statement is true, it also makes you look petty.
Well I let the first two post of yours go as just silly but here you are just plain wrong. GOPc is as knowledgeable about those things he posts about as anyone on this board.
OH wait, you're one of those from California, never mind, I hate to get banned unless I REALLY told you what I think.
