It’s one thing to have constructive dialog, even Newt welcomes the scrutiny. It’s quite another for some of these folks to spend all day posting one thread after another using articles from liberal rags rather than their own arguments.
You & I have had what I consider constructive, pleasant dialog lately. I don’t think anyone is against such dialog. However, when others simply rehash the liberal talking points, it’s quite another thing. Can we debate without eating our own?
One last thing. I personally find it kind of refreshing that a candidate like Newt would stand up, as he has, & say, hey I was wrong, my mind has changed. He doesn’t make excuses, doesn’t try & cover up, just says, I was wrong.
Can you imagine? And yet there are those here that still want to roast the dude.
Sure!
One way to do that is, no matter how you feel about why someone posted something, don't label them with perjorative names, but simply go ahead and substantively address the points in the article.
If you get tired of addressing the points, don't label the posters with perjorative names or get off track discussing over and over again your thoughts on their motives for posting. Just stop posting on those threads. They will go away soon enough.
Not addressing this to you specifically, Confab. A general observation.
