(13,324 posts)any more than anyone else is, and I don't claim to be.
At least theoretically, I try to argue with ideas rather than people. I don't always succeed in that, though.
I don't think either "side" is responsible for "all the strife on the board." And I'm not trying to personally disparage anyone either. I just get frustrated when people who try to tell the ugly truth about the world we live in, get shouted down as "radicals" or "man-haters" or related bullshit. And it's not any better when one woman calls another a "dog" - but that particular post has been rightly condemned over and over again, and I saw no reason to join in the pile-on.
So yes, I'm sorry people have been such assholes to you. From what I can tell, you didn't remotely deserve that kind of treatment. But at the same time, certain HoF members have been attacked and caricatured so relentlessly that I feel the need to stick up for them somewhat.
Again, I'd like this to be about real issues, not personal beefs. But I guess I'm a dreamer...
