honestly, pan, i have just read your last two posts and i haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about.
and i am kinda fed up with how you act here, so let me tell you a couple things that i would assume you already know:

what i see when i read your posts is an amazing level of barely controlled anger---it seems often to build on itself--all because you seem to confuse resistance to your arguments with a lack of respect for you as a human being.

this must be true because otherwise your reactions would make no sense. you know what i mean: when you are confronted with disagreement---and particularly when that disagreement engages with you directly you react with:
"you--and those fucking "militants" just like you---are wrecking the country"
or
"we could all pull together as a big happy team if it wasnt for you and those other fucking leftists"
or
"you elitist prick, stop persecuting me"
or a variation (you get a fair sample above)

in all of this, you extend no respect whatsoever to those of us who disagree with you politically: yet you never seem to tire of demanding it for yourself.
how do you manage that?

you get what you give, friend.
and a respectful environment does not start with treating people who disagree with you as persecuting phantasms. it just doesn't.
if you really want to change the tone of this forum, you might start with your own.
just a suggestion.
