I feel that some people are a little bit too cutthroat about politics debate. I personally find the method of quoting someone's post and inserting responses to each invididual line to be vicious. I guess that just goes hand in hand with how I portray my own thoughts. The thought that someone is looking at my individual sentences for weaknesses in my point tells me that they are not paying attention to my message, but more to my words themselves. It gives the idea that if you cannot deliver a post like you've got your own speech writer, you shouldn't even step up to the plate.
Too many people stop just short of understanding their fellow man. It's not that they take words out of context, or even see them through a different lens; they just want to be right. The end result is frustration for those who have valid opinions, but don't know the rulebook by heart. They say things, but it falls on deaf ears because the reader doesn't want to think any further than the period at the end of the sentence.
This is from my own point of view. Obviously, I'm defending my style of delivery. For every word written, there are 10 more unseen before the next. Many would respond with, "HELP me understand." My retort is, "Make me feel like it's possible."
