If you are here for the rare treat of a serious discussion between the two sides, then you shouldn't need to even ask. Don't bother with the doofuses, respond intelligently and affirmatively to the real questions, and be sincere. That alone would make this thread a keeper.
Yes...a measure of your sincerity will be your ability to resist the temptation to base your demeanor and responses on inflammatory rhetoric. Here on FreeRepublic we have our share of hotheads and youngsters and those who post before they think. Do not use any of this as an excuse to avoid answering questions.
