My FRiend, I'm arguing for civil debate.
If you say, "I disagree with Rudy's position on abortion", I respect you, I'll debate you.
If you say, "I'll never vote for a baby killer like Rudy", I'll believe you're an emotional, over-the-top partisan who is not open to reason on this subject.
Name-calling and exaggeration don't foster debate. I'm trying to advocate open, honest debate here. I think that is what made FR great.
DH, my most respectful expression of gratitude for your adult, civil tone.
I disagree with Rudy’s position on abortion. That’s one of the many reasons I’ll never vote for the baby-killing, homo-loving, gun-grabbing, cross-dressing’ etc.
