I typed that because to me, most things that are said about fritz are just fair and square. I don't want to insult him by sugarcoating this opinion of mine about how he presents himself and his thoughts.
And I do not think this is because I am unwilling to listen to other people or not trying to understand their viewpoints, and I even dare to ssay it is not because of my horse blinders. It's also not about politics. But brad's whole presence in P and R is that of an unreflecting ultrapartisan hardnut that uses every shrewd and bad faith argument he can possibly muster to make a point against the enemy. This thread being an example. You can be pro-Trump or anti-Trump, doesn't matter, but as soon as you dig out a story about stockings on a chimney, something that is at the very least a private affair, and use it as example of what a rotten man Biden is, that deserves to be ridiculed. Especiially if the same person claims this is shittier than anything the guy that betrayed his pregnant wife with a porn starlet (and then some) has ever done.
And yeah, that's just me stating my opinion and I could just as well ask for considering it earnestly before accusing me of being hateful and close-minded. I don't mean that to be taken as aggressive, but as my best way to answer your question.
I have to generally agree with Hollo. He's easily one of our most even keel posters and he's absolutely one of our most polite. Hell, he called me out for my behavior and his being who he is gave me pause and caused me to reexamine my conduct. I don't disagree that Brad is one of our more extreme posters. What I will say is that he is heaped with abuse far beyond what the left leaning posters who exhibit similar, if not the same, behavior endure. I very rarely agree with Brad's positions, but he absolutely gets beat up on more than anyone else in this sub forum, even when others deserve the same level of push back.
