If your acount is still active, it is only by the grace of God, or the moderators...one and the same on this forum.
Your post would have had some relevance at one time...back when dissent and debate were welcome here.
Niether is welcome any longer.
This forum used to be a better place tha DU because of the difference that you pointed out, but that is no longer the case.
Thanks for the thought, anyway.

The boss says this guy is the Zotted troll "SoLongCrooks" from the thread linked in the 'link article' header.
He's not a progressive, he's a communist.
Since he's a previously zotted retread, he's trolling.
But hey, he might stay this time if he stays polite, so you can likely 'debate' him all you like.
Oh yeah, your version of debate consists of saying 'brown noser'.
