Sometimes I find myself in unlikely alliances, such as with your suspended friend and myself on the Trent Lott threads. If that happens, so be it.
I told you at the time that I thought the poster to whom you're referring had been unfairly mischaracterized in a post to me as having called President Bush a traitor. I don't care if he's unpopular, that was wrong, and I was in the best position to know, and to step forward on his behalf, so I did. I would again.
That said, knowing his propensity to play with lightning rods, I actually have asked him to keep a lower profile on a number of these threads, in the hopes that some could focus more on the actual story that I've been following and on which I've been posting. The results have been a bit mixed.
There are too many on all sides who thrive on the personality conflicts. I won't pretend that I don't like a good brawl from time to time, but not on a day and night basis.
As one who loves a good verbal 'brawl' as much as anyone........there is a difference between intelligent sparring, and deliberate distortion and mindless crudity (aimed primarily, IMO, at women).
and, btw.......isn't this story getting really old??? How many times can we 'question' the propriety of entertaining a man who is now in the slammer?? You're a smart guy, Sabertooth.....don't you see the absurdity of beating this dead horse.......I mean why don't you bring up Enron, or the BUSH KNEW scandal?......they're just a little older, and equally preposterous.
