I'm not one that often quotes Jesus Christ (remember him? "[T]hat Hippy Bastard from Nazareth...who got what he deserved"), but as he says "
Let he without sin cast the first stone.
Everyone is biased. You just as much as I.

Your examples were meant to be extreme of course but interestingly both paint moosegoose as the unreasonable party.

Erm... that's because I think he
IS the unreasonable party.
The point of my post was more to say that the useless arguing, back and forth, was not really going anywhere. My position with regards to moosegoose's vitriolic posts are elsewhere on the thread.

Now what I think is interesting here is I don't' think you did that on purpose, but it is just another example of how our preconceived notions effect how we react.

Well, I kind of did do it on purpose.
But my ultimate goal was 'pure and good'. That is, and I actually stated this elsewhere, that I respect everyone's opinion, but that using vituperative nonesense does it no favours. And before you accuse me of MORE bias, this applies to
both sides of the spectrum!
Basically what I was trying to say was "why are you trying to convince each other, as it appears that we have some people who are entrenched in their opinions and you will not change them"?
That's all.
The facetious "quotes" were just a little added colour.

None taken. And hopefully none given.
