But "we" did not cap an egregious misreading of my post #46 by setting ourselves up as the gatekeeper of informed opinion.
I'm not "the gatekeeper". I am "a" gatekeeper.

I was all set to let this go, until you used the words, "other people's". It was clearly directed solely at you.
Quote:I see no problem with vigorous prosecution of arguments focused on arguments and not persons. I don't have a problem with parody and sarcasm so long as directed at issues and political stances, not people. So no doubt I have ruffled other right wing feathers in this forum.
Other than mine you mean? Two things; the next time you "ruffle my feathers" will be the first time and, two, I'm nothing close to right wing.

Wait, was this past of your post a bit of self-reflection?
Quote:But in this instance I very much doubt that some greater "WE" is set to combust into a flame of shame because I rolled a few LOLs into a dissection of YOUR misreading.
It's ok, we forgive you.
