Did I call you that?

Dude, check the narcissism at the door. None of this conversation is about pupdog or directed toward pupdog.. I hate to tell you, but pupdog doesn't even cross my mind.

Your exact quote:

I love how they call anyone who rejects him sheep who hate freedom.

Who is this "they"? You didn't define that word, and so one is left to draw conclusions about what you mean; it seems most likely that by "they" you mean "Paul supporters", of which I am one. So unless you meant something different, then yes, you were talking about pupdog.

Of course, it also begs the question: "anyone who rejects him"? So you've followed every single word spoken by "they", and have definitive proof that "they" have called every last person who rejects him "sheep who hate freedom"?

OK, I'll skip the obvious step. Of course you don't. But see, there's the whole point. You have one of "they" right here, saying he doesn't do this. But if you aren't, in fact, talking about me, then I'm not "they". "They" are someone else, someone over there, and you're so busy guffawing about what "they" do, that you just don't have time when someone who seems to awfully be that "they" but somehow isn't comes directly to you and says, "OK, convince me. You want my vote so bad, here you are. You have the floor. I'm all ears."

And this is why I left this board, and mostly the only convincing you're doing is that I made the right decision. Waging war against "they" may make you feel good. But when you have one of "they" here and "they" say, "Hey, I want to talk it out", and you still turn your back... well, I think the Christian faith that I guess you believe in has a thing or two to say about that.

But, as I said, it doesn't say anything to me, because I offered my hand. I can only do my half. Just do remember this question in the future: the next time that someone says, "You can't reason with those kinds of people", is it because they weren't willing, or you weren't?
