About 5 posts or so, and basically all I got was how I am a paid programmer from this site, (where's my week's cheque, BTW?), how my insistence that CC and I were 2 separate thinking people with a similar opinion was ignored, how horrible I was to oppose sending soldiers to die simply to support those who have already died. From my perspective it was an interesting lesson in futility I will likely not repeat.<BR/><BR/>Still, if it helped make one person who passes by to look for answers for themselves..<BR/><BR/>I support the right for them to have the opinions they have, I just don't support refusing to discuss them, or misleading the readers on them.Filcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515720302942668270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-44900490643115516292008-02-24T11:50:00.000-05:002008-02-24T11:50:00.000-05:00CC, that's been my experience, too.

The worst element of <I>Blogging Tory</I> blogs is always the tone of the discussion; how its coarsened by the righty commenters themsleves (despite their opposition to potty-mouth). If the Blogging Tory bloggers themselves won't moderate it (and I'm convinced they see value in not doing so), there are only two options for the rest of us; ignore them completely or vilify them mercilessly.<BR/><BR/>The option we should avoid (which led the American liberals and Democrats to where they are now) is to treat their discourse as worth any serious consideration or even civility. That's how the American liberals and lefties ended up being able to be framed so easily as weak, indecisive and less than morally clear.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-33763100857251197452008-02-23T12:15:00.000-05:002008-02-23T12:15:00.000-05:00So, Neo is an intellectually dishonest douche.

I do find it unfortunate that as soon as one posts an opposing view there they immediately demand I say "hi to CC." <BR/><BR/>It suggests that some are more worried about challenging individuals than discourse on the subject. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, in any political blog. In my opinion it shows a widening gap in political spectrum in Canada, more like what we see is happening to the South.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, hi CC.Filcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515720302942668270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-19187120057674032032008-02-23T09:16:00.000-05:002008-02-23T09:16:00.000-05:00I point my Conservative father-in-law to Neo's blo...I point my Conservative father-in-law to Neo's blog to warn him about the downside of blogging while in full dotage.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.com
