I appreciate your comments, uncommonsense, and agree with them. I also “like the fruits that grow out of a vigorous debate”. There have been instances in my ventures into cyberspace where I learned something that changed my opinion on a particular politician or issue. Romney is a good example of that. At first I thought he might be someone I could support, but then I researched, listened and learned more about him....and what I learned changed my opinion of him.
I don’t mind passionate and heated debates. Lord knows I’m not perfect either and have regretted comments I’ve made online. It’s those “simpletons who can’t string together a coherent sentence, so they revert to banal name calling” and some simpletons who can be coherent but are just plain rude and far too quick to judge and insult others that are irritating to me. I’ll just have to work harder at ignoring them.
You seem to be a good soul there, uncommonsense. God bless you.
Me too! I look forward to our ongoing (old fashioned civil) discussions, and God bless you also!
