I have no fear of debate. It is my genes, and annealed by disputative and argumentative parents, who then spent a lot of money to hone that skill some more in me. But debate in a star chamber is no debate at all - it is degrading. Debate will be done elsewhere, not here, that is clear.

Sounds like the "secret" Salt River forums at WA dot net.

Many of us who supported Alan Keyes in 2000 felt that way when the management decided to support (then) Governor Bush and the "Bushbots" became very shrill and insulting to anyone who voiced the least criticism of their candidate. The shoe appears to be on the other foot these days. If those who became accustomed to ridiculing anyone who disagrees with them learn a lesson from being in that position, maybe this forum will someday be stronger for those people having learned how the other side feels.
