I'm sorry you had a rough time on that thread, cspackler. However, I have to disagree (and this is not flaming you): that's not an "example of eating your own," it's an example of robust discussion and passionate disagreement.
There's a difference.
"Eating your own" is what Sean did to FR today on national air. If he wants to make his opinion known, come here and state it. But going to millions of people who may never have (yet) heard of FR, and giving them a totally erroneous impression of the majority of what goes on here, now that's "eating your own."
Oh, and childish.
Well put.
Sean,
“Sod off, Swampy.”
I have no problem with robust discussion, hell I love to argue.
My point was that just because I wasn't in lockstep with their opinions, they started accusing me of being pro-abort when nothing I have ever posted on this forum would give anyone that opinion.
In other words, they were trying to bait me into getting zotted.
