You do your arguments no favors by being snarky.
Do you believe that you can be an honest spokesman for Free Republic, or even conservatism even though you are a member? Or should you be considered an unreliable source for related discussions?

Does Rokke do his arguments any favor that way because his posts have been arrogant, condescending and snarky the whole thread through.
What is snarky?
