I don't have a problem with Fred's request that I apologize - I agree I was harsh with TLBSHOW, but I don't apologize for doing such - Fred, you mention gentlemanly behavior, but there is another saying regarding such - that a gentelman is never UNINTENTIONALLY rude. TLBSHOW has nonstop spammed Lott threads with junk that has nothing to do with the given debate on that thread, and I'm sick of it. Whether I thought Lott was a racist had nothing to do with Sheltonmac's initial post, and it is also a question I had answered many, many times in the past. But Luis, Fred was well within bounds to question that particular comment.
Cynicom, however, is simply being absurd - saying I don't want to debate, when he has made one comment on this thread that passes for debate and instead is trying to score points by derailing the debate.
I just find it funny that Fred is coming down on you for a mild (and funny) flame on a thread titled "The GOP, Party of Cowards".
Where are the objections to sheltonmac's deliberate ignition of a flame war?
