You're right! I'll admit that I'm trying to influence people reading this forum but the difference between the talk shows and this forum are huge. Here, there's no call screener that will prevent dissenters from getting on and debating the host logically and intelligently. On talk radio, the dissenters that you do manage to hear have been filtered and sifted through so that, in general, the more clever ones are not allowed into the calling queues. On this forum if one writes something anyone can attack it, criticize it, add to it, amend it, etc but it's rarely filtered.

You left out degrade people for having a different opinion than you by calling them names.
