You get what you put out. The Paulbots don’t offer any rational civil debate. They merely chant their slogans and talking points. IF they ever tried actually DEBATING instead of filibustering, they might see a big difference in how they are treated.

I was going to say that it’s because the Paulbearers are such wingnuts, but I’ll go with your post! lol

This is very true. If you go back to Paul threads from five or six months ago, they aren't like what they are now. There was actually attempt to debate until we would get 20 paragraph cut and paste pontifications by Paul from articles he wrote for Lew Rockwell or on his site and the constant claim that he is the only real conservative (sic). The real marginalizing didn't come until we started to hear Paul speak at the debates and people started rabidly making excuses for everything he said. That took him out of the candidate column and into the joke of the day column.

Here is a perfect example for you. In this thread, I attempted to ask a question that would bring the thread to an actual debate on Presidential powers. Not only did no Paul supporters respond on the thread (only SJackson responded to the question), one Paul supporter actually e-mailed me a two word response. The first word started with F and the second word was You. (I know it was a Paul supporter because they also e-mailed me about being banned from the site and showed a post with their former Freep handle.) 3 subsequent e-mails from this person all contained those infamous two words as well as other threats.

The funny part was that they used an old e-mail address I forgot was on here and instead of going to my private e-mail, it went to an e-mail newsgroup on eLearning that I run. This group has over 100 members from around the country and they all saw this as a representative of a Paul supporter. When the Admin of the group e-mailed this person back to ask to please refrain from using that language, the Paul supporter sent them an attacking e-mail.

Paul supporters have far too thin of skin to be playing the political game.

And yet, by calling us “Paulbots”, you show that you are too mean-spirited to rise above petty insults.
