tearing you a new asshole on here but let's remember how this started. Like most new posters on here I attempted to find nuance between the various factions and reached out to you with compromise much as someone like Buck does. When I began reading your partisan rants on here and saw that you put an incredible amount of energy into research I mistakenly believed that you were someone with intellectual curiosity that I could reason with.

When I tried that tactic, I paid for it. You went for the jugular every time I showed any compromise, capitulation, or showed my disgust for any thing liberal. Not once did you return the favor by objectively deriding your own over the top politicians. Yeah, you made a few after-the-fact admissions that the current crop of Republicans weren't fiscally responsible enough for you and too soft on immigration but other than that we might as well have been listening to any right wing talk show host.

So thank you for posting links to some of the slams I've done on here. I'm absolutely proud of standing up to abject assholes. My advice to you was about trying not to alienate someone you wish to have a civil relationship with. I have no desire to have that with you, Lee, or Techie anymore.
