"YOU are one of the nutty fanatics on this board, you and every other bridge burning, pitchfork toting get Bush because he doesn't tow every single conservative line
idiot!"
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I offer you exhibit A.
The nastiness of tone that has popped up occasionally is, after all, largely the subject of this thread. I don't believe I have ever actively criticized our president on this board. I think you've made quite a big assumption. I this is just the sort of knee-jerk reaction that might be causing some to leave. Seriously, calm down and re-read your post. You've called me "nutty" and an "idiot" without the least knowledge of who I am or what I am about. Sure, I'm not going to jump ship over it, but don't you think it's a bit unnecessary?
And "fanatic"? Really, now that's the most interesting, because I've always thought of myself as a political free-thinker, although fairly conservative.
Look through this thread to see if I've criticized the president. I'm just an adherer to the old addage (loosely quoted), "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll fight for your right to say it." I think this is what America is about. May rational heads prevail.
Well said.
Not condoning the darts, just pointing out that it is likely they weren't aimed at you.
I didn't take those remarks to be aimed at you either. I think it was addressed to the other FReeper. That's my read, anyway.
