I defended his posts and you didn't respond at all. Luckly you were able to bait Ch'i and then get him to lose his temper. Is that really how to behave on TFP? I mean are we really to belive that baiting people into losing their temper is how to carry out a functional, relevant, and fruitful discussion?
I'm starting to wonder if some people aren't in politics simply to blow off steam by making snide, one lined responses to thoughtful posts simply to see if they can get a rise out of people. It seems to be happening more and more recently, and it is not only ruining Politics, but it is actually going to destroy the place that so many of us derive substance from. This is the only place for a lot of us to have relevant political discussion. I'm surrounded by sheep, myself. I don't know of anyone wou would disagree with me about politics that I know.
