So you want to continue this? Okay. I don't speak for anyone else. That said, if it's what you want I'll give you my take on you.

You're a nice guy. So is Skybird. So is Tribesman. I've made observations on them. That said, everybody has their opinions. Mine is that I'm usually wrong. Yours seems to be that you're usually right. That, to me, is dangerous. The guy who "knows" he's right can't deal with the possibility that he might not be. As I said, on one thread you can be reasonable and even logical. Sometimes. In my opinion you don't seem to understand how logic really works, or how debate really works. You say what seems reasonable to you, up to a point. When challenged enough you get your dander up and start to become antagonistic. When someone points that out you become defensive. Defense mode then leads to attack mode. When someone responds in kind you become downright hostile. Someone is always attacking you, never the other way around. And this is all because you don't seem to understand give and take.

Have you ever been wrong? Have you ever admitted that you might be wrong? Debate involves exploring an issue, not just making pronouncements on it.

The next time you jump on the Constitution bandwagon in defense of your opinions, remember this: The Constitution, every single word of it, was the result of compromise. I'm not saying we should compromise our rights or our freedoms, just that to truly grasp the situation you need to see it from the other side as well.

Oh, and "Reading comprehension FTW" is exactly the kind of arrogant, snarky attitude we were talking about.
