In a thread about the extreme left, absolutely. "They do it to", is the kind of crap kindergarten age children use as an argument.

No, it absolutely is not. It's asserting that pointing out extreme behavior by others is not a defense for the extreme behavior you are attempting to excuse. It's really not that complicated.
Quote:So you can "expend energy" offering negative opinions on a range of topics, and judge others, but refuse to explain what makes yours not specious.
You constantly do this, stating that others have not explained their position when they very clearly have. This fools not one but your small cadre of parrots.
Quote:That sort of judge-and-run keeps discussion at the level of quips. And safe.
Please, feel free to elevate the level of discourse. After all, your every post claims intellectual superiority over us proles. Enlighten us, master.
