“You’ve only been here since mid-February. Your ignorance of politics is appalling.”
Pointing out someone’s length of stay, and calling them “ignorant” is to engage in name-calling and expressing an “entitlement” attitude.
Calling someone ignorant does not move a discussion forward, or lend credibility to one’s points. Also, to consider one to be entitled because they have been on this site longer is again to engage in rhetoric that is not helpful. So what if someone is only starting out? Does it make their points less thoughtful or meaningful? Isn’t this “entitlement” mentality one of the things we conservatives are fighting against? I thought so, and so it is important to remain consistent.
Finally your reference to “genuflecting at the altar” was also offensive and uncalled for, and I fail to see the reason for that kind of statement.
While it's true that longevity in and of itself is not necessarily determinant, it's often been seen 'round these parts as indicative of motivation; sometimes (gasp) of the disruptive variety.
So both your original accusation and rebuttal fail to offer convincing proof of 'name calling'.
Nice try, though.
Your responses here have been weak, argumentation-wise, and don’t cut the mustard. (These things are not name calling.) Be humble and learn for a while. If your heart and brain are in the right place and you stay informed, you will be able to find traction somewhere down the road.
