Yesterday Free Republic seemed like DU. It makes me wonder what the hell is going on. Are Freepers getting younger? I always assume that DU is so pathetically immature because they must be younger. Free Republic has always been a place dominated by great class, and wit, and decency. Not this time. What I saw yesterday was a pathetic embarrassment and totally unworthy of this great forum. (emphasis mine)
It wasn't moral equivalence. My comparison to DU rests on my assertion (in bold) that the behavior I observed was a "pathetic embarassment" and "totally unworthy." If you don't accept that description, you won't accept the analogy. But it's not moral "equivalence," which is, as I understand it, when you treat as equal two instances that are NOT equal. I'm saying I saw stuff that was ON ALL FOURS with DU.
But that's in the past. I said my peace that day and lived to tell the tale, for which I am grateful. I got some good feedback and some constructive criticism that day--all for the good.
You're just babbling and emoting and feigning indignation. Next time throw in the word "impugn." It goes with the cliched riff you're playing. Maybe you did use that word. I'll have to go back and look. I didn't bother to read all of it.
Your reading comprehension appears to be around seventh grade level. I don’t say that as an insult; that is my honest appraisal. You also confuse rudeness/insults w discussion. Where did you get the idea to equate the two? From DU?
