If you are perceived as "liberal" on these boards, there will be folks who will disagree with anything, absolutely anything, you say.

They will deny undeniable facts (yes, I know what I said). And, if asked if they would agree with something if that something could be proven, they will back off, not wanting to be put in that position of agreeing with a "liberal" even if the "liberal" could prove his point.

Even so, most of them are decent, nice folks, with a powerful sense of fairness. Actually, I've been the only voice for the Palestinians (adding that if everyone on the board were for the Palestinians, I'd have to come down on the side of the Israelis), with a very few folks coming in on specific issues from time to time.

And, they'll disagree with everything a "liberal" says. And with this statement I've put them into a double-bind.
