Can't say I'm surprised--or sorry. I think Dominic Harr was of the Tom Daschle "I'm just so very, very softspoken and polite that I can utter any evil and get away with it" ilk. I noticed he didn't answer any of the very clear and reasonable questions he received about his "social liberal and political conservative" claim. He just changed the subject.
Jim, may I say that this is the most fascinating thread I've seen in some time, and I'm just furious that I didn't discover it until late yesterday. I've only been able to read the first 500+ and the latest 700+ posts, but clearly you're doing some pruning of the libs, and I agree with your decision to do so. You're right--this is a forum for conservatives, and having too many trolls around is not conducive to intelligent discussion. I won't miss any of the people you've banned--I've been finding them pretty annoying for some time.
In addition, I admire trememdously your clear, ringing articulation and defense of conservative philosophy and positions. This forum is a joy, and I'm just sorry I didn't find it before 2005. Thank you so much for creating and maintaining it.
Lucky for you, Jim uses more than one square.
