I see, apparently no one ever explained to you how this works. See posting a comment here is an introduction to a PUBLIC debate. If you don't want your comments responded to, send them as a private reply. Anything that you post can be responded to. If you don't care for the replys, don't post on the thread
Listen, my friend. I have been posting around here a lot longer than you and I don't need snide lectures from you to inform me how this process works.
I have no objection about my opinions being responded to. That's fair game. What I do object to is personal attacks, which is how you responded (and still continue to respond) to me, even when I ask you to lay off.
As long as we're discussing how this forum works, may I remind you that personal attacks are forbidden? Most of us here are on the same side, but we still have differing opinions and should feel free to air them without having to sustain personal attacks from those who disagree.
Save that for the DU where that is the language they speak.
