Abaya, I'm afraid I must chalk this up to poor English skills. I should have split that sentence. Of course you didn't berate anyone nor did I intend to imply you did. I meant: "I too share your frustrations. However, rather than berating people for their opinions and beliefs, it would probably be better if people were to engage others in a thoughtful more meaningful manner."
I think the berating thing perception was more of a third-person type of thing. Sort of berating the general public for being too stupid or not critical enough. Something like that. At least that's how I interpreted it.
Anyways, sorry for the confusion.
I have not seen the Palin thread in LL. I thought that was for ladies only.
