Childish? Every single thread that comes out about Ron Paul, you bash and hi-jack it.

Interesting.

When a post saluting and endorsing Ron Paul is posted I can often be found criticizing Ron Paul's garishly wrongheaded policies.

I'm not sure how discussing Ron Paul on a Ron Paul thread constitutes "hijacking."

This, it hardly needs repeating, is a discussion forum.

Nothing he can say or do is to your standards. We get it, you don’t like him.

I see. So only pro-Ron Paul comments are permitted on FR threads.

If a thread about Ron Paul consists of anything other than various worshipful paeans by Paul supporters to their hero, then the thread has failed.

Fascinating view of FR's function.

What are you afraid of that you have made this your mission?

I notice that you like to impute motives to me rather than argue objectively.

Your opening interlocution was to ask me which GOP candidate I supported. As if it really mattered - after all the thread is about Ron Paul, not other candidates. Had I responded by declaring support for the abortion-loving Rudy Giuliani or the flipflopping part-time conservative Mitt Romney, would you have accused me of "hijacking" the thread for either of those candidates?

After this gambit didn't pay off, you then implied that I am a paid enemy of the GOP.

Now you impute fear to me and allege that I have made dismantling Ron Paul boosterism a "mission."

Do you have an argument of any kind, however thin, rather than personal imputations?

Would you like it if I implied that you were a paid anti-GOP operative because you are encouraging support for the weakest general election candidate in the GOP field?

Or that you don't care what happens to American fighting men and women, just because Ron Paul's concern for them is practically nonexistent?

Or that you are somehow afraid of something or are on a "mission" for Ron Paul?

This mode of argumentation is childish.

I believe you like Ron Paul because you have specific reasons based on your political convictions and on Ron Paul's policy stances. I believe you are in grave error, but I do not believe your motives are sinister.

I believe that Ron Paul is wrong on key issues and that his policies are wrong and that if his foreign policy ideas gain any traction it will be to the detriment of the United States.

And I will articulate these views on their merits on any Ron Paul thread I please.
