Reply #13: I think it would elevate the debate if people took responsibility

for their own words. Rather than just complain that someone quoted 'out of context', actually debate, and show how that quoting out of context in some way misrepresented the meaning of what was said. I don't really think "just slinging shit and hoping to get away with it" really happens very much here at all. It is a charge that is levelled constantly by those who are unable or unwilling to actually debate the issues.
