Reply #38: No offense taken; all in the spirit of discussion

Sorry to hear TIA's been hammered lately, too. I can certainly relate to your own post-election experience, too.

I'm all for scrutinizing someone else's arguments, but am chagrined when this passes into slamming the person who makes them. TIA, if you're reading this, keep up the good posting. We'd all do well to remember that in anonymous online forums it's easy to indulge the impulse to call other people names or make them feel bad, simply because there's no real-world, real-time feedback. I'll bet most of those who've hammered TIA would be far more civil if the discussion took place over a cafe table.
