I disagree with the opinion of darkwolf regarding COD. But, I support his/her right to freely express their opinion on this forum. As much as I would expect him/her to defend my right to express my disagreement.

There are many temptations of incivility toward some posters that we disagree. Especially when we find their opinion obnoxious, and inflammatory, to our own view. The secret is to remain civil, in spite of the aggressions we might feel obligated to express, toward their motives, and/or ill-founded belief systems.

He's got the right to his opinion and the right to express it. I've little faith that he'd defend your opinion if you supported O'Donnell. I've only been jabbing him in response to his attacks on O'Donnell supporters.

I'll assume you've not noticed he and "Palladin" use Wikipedia and "Gawker." Wikipedia is not a reliable source concerning conservatives and Gawker is a homosexual activist site. Any alarm bells going off, yet?

I'll admit, I went over the top. Alright, I went WAY over the top. I reached escape velocity and I am currently passing Jupiter and heading toward deep space.

But I degress.

I've always had an issue with bullies and have taken bizarre delight in pummelling them. It's usually better to remain civil; unfortunately, you can't reason with the unreasonable.

But thank you, takenoprisoner, for your well written note. You've made a lot of good points. I'll take your advice and tone it down a bit.

Prost!
