I think I made a mistake combining two different points in one post.

I did not mean to have the "bashing" comment tied with the "facts" comment.

I do feel that a majority of the "bashing" comments are coming from the left. Just look at the thread titles in the politics forum if you don't believe me (I don't mean just "Bush-bashing", I mean the pointed comments concerning the right in general). Also, read through some of the threads and see how it degraded to a bashing theme. Now, I am not saying this is exclusive to the left, I am saying that a majority of it is. It was the other way around 5-8 months ago, but is no swinging full circle.

My comments about facts and references was more of a general comment.

By putting the two in the same post I gave the wrong impression, sorry 'bout that.

My main point is: Some of you guys on the left are never going to have any effect on people like me. Your methods alone put me off....I can never get past that to see the content. It just comes across like the Howard Dean screech. Once you put me on the defensive, you make it that much harder to convince me of anything.

Read my example about wonderwench, maybe you will see what I mean.

roach -

I hardly think the degradation of discussion here or in the "real world" is indicitive of the success/failure of "Democracy" in general.

also, not sure if I am supposed to laugh at the martyr comment or not.......
