Why is pointing out the obvious consequences of the tagline that Bikers4Kerry has posted causing such distress? If this causes discomfort, that is not my concern.

For starters, it causes needless tension on this forum that will ultimately lead to flamefests.

As importantly it reflects poorly on all of us, you most of all. But it isn't my reputation, so do whatever you want.

My concern is keeping a strong leader and good President in office - and that is what there is right now. Now, folks like me and Poohbah are going to point this out.

If that's really your goal, then substantive posts instead of foolish namecalling will be more effective. Changing his screenname irritates him and convinces no one else.

Alternatively, if your goal is to win a tit-for-tat Internet dispute by baiting the other poster into saying something that will get him banned, then by all means proceed.

I am just pointing out the conseuqences, having lived through one of those elections where backstabbing cost a conservative a seat.

I don't like it, and I'm not going to tolerate it. Nor am I going to bother with niceties. His advocacy of Tancredo is objectively pro-Kerry. So, why should I treat him any better than I would treat a Kerry supporter?

If pointing out reality causes a flamefest, then the guys who don't like reality have a problem, not the guys pointing out reality.
