I think some of my points are valid, but your right. I came on a bit strong and I should have expected this type of backlash. I'll work on it.
Cheers...
Lovely.
While you're "working on it", you might want to pay special attention to your proclivity to insult and otherwise castigate other posters. You, a brand new member of this forum, managed to insult a number of other members with your initial post in this thread, not to say you didn't do the same in other threads.
You'll note that liberals such as yourself are not immediately banned for participating in "spirited debate", but a certain amount of decorum is expected. You were invited to introduce yourself after your first post. You failed to do so because you were caught up in your troll-like behavior. You finally got the point when a second person reminded you to do so, but it still took you 15 posts to "get it."
Having the discussions is certainly a part of this community and is a practice that is relished by many.
If it's your intention to be a part of this community, I'd suggest you get into the habit of doing the following:
1. Present your POV. NOTE: Challenging the community to present THEIR point of view up front is borderline trollish, IMHO.
2. Offer evidence that supports your POV. Note: Wikipedia, the Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, Media Matters, and other liberal rags aren't generally considered unbiased, as is WorldNetDaily on the conservative side.
3. Engage in discussion, but asking questions about what others believe in an endless stream accomplishes little.
4. Put your seat belt on.
