Ok I can't take on 15 people.
I realize I'm obviously the site minority. I've done everything I can to not get personal with people, I've stopped the conversation on multiple occasions to be magnanimous, and specifically complimented both BT's approach and his concepts in order to at minimum show a common sign of respect.
This is just the wrong format to go over this. The site is heavily left and while I can respect the mass consenscous, someone telling me that I'm not credible simply because their interperitation of what was said differs from mine. I had a much longer reponse to you Bricks but at this point it's best to just leave it at this.
Politics is a difficult and complex topic to discuss especially when at root it boils down to personal principle, but I'd like it stated for the record, at no point in this conversation have I dismissed a single person, called a single person a name, flamed anyone back, or told them what they do or do not understand contrary to mine without specifically addressing a previous statement tit for tat. Couple that with the manner in which I have corresponded with BT, and I feel anything but obtuse and I'm certainly not playing the "I'm offended" card.
This was just the totally wrong forum to bring this up.
