Regards my tagline;

I don’t keep track of the mean spirited Cruz posters who congregate on the Walker threads, so I have no idea if you are one or not. I simply call them ‘The Cruz Contingent’.

The mere fact that you commented on the tagline as you did would indicates that you are probably NOT one of those who I pointed at.

If you were, your response would be more along the lines of what I got a long time ago. I am paraphrasing, but I’m not far off from the actual words used. It went something like this, ‘We don’t have time to convince you about Cruz, get the hell out of our way’.

Compare nearly any Cruz thread with nearly any Walker thread. You’ll see a very large number of Cruz ‘re-educators’ on the Walker threads, something that doesn’t happen in reverse.

By ‘re-educators’ I’m talking about mean spirited attacks, rather than discussions and questions about political positions. The attacks are worded in such a way that they appear to be designed ‘educate’ the reader not to question the posters knowledge.

To the question I ask in my tagline; from what I’ve seen of Cruz, he isn’t as mean spirited. He appears to be just the opposite.

Which is why I ask the question.

Thank you for your reasoned response.

I’m not always a big fan of some of the comments others make on Walker threads.

I may agree with them, but the wording and tactics wouldn’t be my choice.

That doesn’t mean I don’t think there’s fertile ground there. I just want some real reasons provided. If they are, I have much less of a problem with them.
