(13,463 posts)I get it. You don't want to elevate the conversation to make it more conducive to understanding the POVs of both sides.
I have not insulted you, but I did point out where you immediately insulted a whole group of people... in post FOUR of this thread.... before the conversation would have gotten anywhere.
I don't really care. I see both sides. I'm going to vote for Obama, and I hope he wins. But I understand why people are frustrated with him as well.
And I was with you and your pledge, until I got to post FOUR of this thread and saw you insult people who had a problem with Obama. That immediately made me think you didn't mean anything you said in your pledge.
(And yes, I saw other people attacking you in this thread. I immediately thought it was unprovoked, until I got to post FOUR, where you seemed to think a whole subgroup of people were liars. Your prejudices are just as ingrained as theirs, and because of that, you'll (both sides) never be able to have a communicative conversation in which anything is accomplished.)
You can point it out. I'm just pointing out what I see. The nature of discussion boards.
(And you can call me bub, if you like, but I'm a female. Bub makes me giggle, though, so keep using it.)
