No, I like debate as much as anyone. An interesting discussion would be one where distortion and ad hominem were not tolerated by anyone. You know, the kind of facts-based, logical debate Free Republic used to be pretty good at until this issue. This issue has become pure emotional rhetoric. The sane people bugged out of these threads long ago, even those who thought Terri should live, leaving only a very incestuous clique here who say whatever feels good, not tolerating any discussion that might confront the myths.
It was insane for me to think I could post a complaint here and have any of you decide for yourselves that maybe, just maybe, comparing every medical case to your ever-evolving fantasy of Terri's condition is a losing strategy. It is.
Oh, yes, it's so very "intelligent" to call people incestuous, to claim that ideas other than yours are "emotional rhetoric", to say that anything except what you think is "fantasy." And by the way, FR has never exactly been a "bastion of politeness." Part of debate is the other side of the argument, something you seem utterly unable to tolerate.
