Is that not what you wished to achieve?
Let me quote something that is one of my favorite sayings.
"Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management."It would seem, with that caveat, that opinions expressed by such as OH4life would be, if not welcomed, at least tolerated for the sake of discussion.
If your goal is to convince others of the soundness of your arguments, the righteousness of your cause, if you will, then well-moderated discussions between people who may disagree, but do so with relative politeness and deference to others' opinions should offer a proving ground for polishing debate tactics and procedures, not a killing ground for wayward travelers who may have strayed from the path of your orthodoxy.
