I have no problem with people taking an opposite view than me and engaging in a good old fashioned give and take argument. My brother and I have mastered the art of arguing. Often we'll find each other on opposite sides of an issue. We then proceed to dig in and passionately defend our own viewpoints.

However, we never stop listening to each other and give each other credit when a good point is brought up. Much more often than not, one of us will eventually acknowledge that the other is either completely right or is bringing up valid points. In the mean time we've both managed to learn something in the process.

I consider this a valid dialog and I welcome any voices that may be in opposition to my views if they are capable of listening and acknowledging valid points that they may not have thought of before.

Kosta50 and Tropoljac used to engage in such arguments and I truly enjoyed following their discussions.

Hoplite has proven he has no such skills. I stand by my position that he's virtually useless to this forum.

Hoplite is useful in that he is a continued reminder of the utter bankruptcy of the HumWarror POV.

Hoplite is the last pro-Clinton, pro-KLA, pro-Bosnian jihadist left of FR. Hoplite reminds us with every post of his just how harmful the HumWarrior crowd is/was.

Kudos to Hoplite and his lonely struggle to defend KLA & Bosnian jihadists, at least he is consistent

I enjoyed Trop's posts. Why did he get banned? His posts were very mild compared to Supercooldude's or ABrit's racist outbrurst.

Hoplite is a counter-balance. It is good to have an opposing opinion. I like Hoplite's posts, although we rarely see eye to eye.

I'm almost positive Tropoljac is back again posting under another name. Try to guess it.
