It may have offended Rob, but it isn't my job to keep him from being offended.
I have no interest in flame wars. I do have an interest in debate. Which is why I'm lancing this pus boil. Something needs to happen.
How is it inflammatory to you YN?How about the term "anti-reformers." or "The opponents of tax reform on Free Republic will stop at nothing to protect the status quo." or maybe "Is it no wonder the perception is that these anti-reformers are not being honest with the reason(s) they oppose the reform." or how about "What are they hiding?" although it could be "The anti-reformers try to make the reform threads so unpleasant that people choose not to participate in them" but then again, it might be "The only question is whether the dishonesty of the anti-reformers will slow the progress of reform in the real world."

Lose that tagline and knock off the personal attacks. Thank you.
I would also be happy to eliminate personal attacks - and I expect others to do so also.
----------------------------
Principled had four or five of his offensive posts removed by the moderator in this exchange and it appeared to be over.
Then, less than a week later, out of the blue with no posts taking place in that time either from RobFromGa to Principled, or vce versa, Principled picks up right where he left off, with the personal attacks on me, and didn't ping me to it either. I guess his being happy to eliminate personal attacks only lasted less than a week even with a warning from the mods. Below is an attack on me, and then this thread is another personal attack.
--------------------------
Rob has the most attack laden posts of ANY poster (save scamel). He ALWAYS attacks - ALWAYS name calls. That his MO. Wrap strawman arguments around attacks.
WHile you may find some posts void of attacks, they will follow hundreds containing them.
No way you can convince ANYONE that Rob is pure. He is absolutey the worst when it comes to attacks.
