First, let me commend you on your own reflection that alone is an important step in evolution.
Next, to clarify, sometimes your thoughts don't seem to align with the discussion at hand, it may make complete sense to you how you get from point A to point B, but to others, we are bewildered.
example: Something to Consider thread by tecoyah where you go from the OP of discussion on how to fix the politics forum to making a case for how Bloomberg is a necon.
Finally, where does it end and how does a new person coming into the forum get to know the ropes? Where does it end at? If you discuss prior that Foxnews.com is biased, then where does it leave someone who's opinion is formulated and supported by Foxnews.com articles? or any website for that matter?
Obviously it is for the reader to learn and discern which sites are and aren't acceptable to their point of view, just like the reader decides if the discussion points are acceptable to their point of view.
host, what I'm reading in between the lines is that you seem to think that because you posted all the supporting evidence for how you think and feel about a subject, there's absolutely no sound reason why someone shouldn't believe your statements and subscribe to your point of view. I don't think that people come to a forum, read a few threads, and suddenly have a paradigm shift in their political ethos and outlook.
Personally, I don't think that it works that way.
