I agree with you about 99%. I’m withholding the 1% for those cases where a conversation does need to be derailed. I’m talking specifically about no nonsense bigoted concepts masquerading as honest opposition.

IMHO “the US is Israel’s puppet” or “certain races have a greater capacity towards intellect than others” type start to delve into a sort of faux-rationalization that, although honest, is way off the reservation. Please don’t hold it against me for hurling superlatives at said posts…

Honestly though, I can’t point to a single regular poster here that deserves the hollers of “troll” and “bigot” that sometimes come up, so I definitely appreciate your post. Thanks…
