I do think this is a classic case of FReepers not bothering to read a thread before commenting.

The first post makes clear what I'm saying, no possible misunderstanding.

And yet -- many here did indeed misunderstand!

Very interesting study in online debating.

You think your point is clear, and you then go on to disparage those who point out that your "attention getter" does not help the point you make.

Only liberals have the license to use words and make them mean whatever they want them to mean.

Conservatives, and most Freepers, understand that words have meaning, and if you make a point you wish people to take seriously, you need to be able to back up your words with logic.

You have used a phrase "Cake Walk" and decided that you are the arbiter of the meaning of that phrase. The fact is, utility, history and usage of the phrase are not on your side.

Some people who probably HAVE the right to tell you how wrong you are have been exceedingly civil in their comments to you, and you disparage them.

That says a lot more about you than it does about them.
