The fact that you put me alongside the likes of sartor resartus and peanut ...[text shortened]... iticize them frequently), and yet here you imply we are the same type of people. Ludicrous.[/b]

I implied nothing of the sort and whether rightwingers agree with each other all the time is irrelevant to what I said. Which was: the "right wing" is quite poorly represented at RHP. With some obvious exceptions who contribute valuably and convincingly, the majority of "right wing" posters here seem inarticulate, ignorant, meanspirited, or unable to embrace things broadly or thoughfully. It's a shame.

Absolutely. I do see posting through rather polarized glasses. People either ARE effective contributors or they AREN'T. I think RHP's "right wing" needs to raise its game. It probably has less than half a dozen worthy debaters here. Credible posters with centrist or lefty views probably outnumber then four or five times.

because they're civilians, not members of the military.

"The left-wing of RHP is truly weak in their arguments, its really a shame that they should be represented by the likes of sherzo, adam warlock, no1, and FMF. I really hope they educate themselves and improve their performance and debate techniques."

right, so I just put you in a list alongside the most notorious loons on this website, but hey, Im not in any way implying you are like them. 🙄

just like the same can be said about the majority of leftists here, yourself included.
Im not going to ask you to explain your vague and unsubstantiated generalizations for I know you're just going to avoid any real discussion by either attacking me personally or simply refusing to be objective, so in what way are you different from all those inarticulate right-wing posters you just mentioned?

Well, I am not an inarticulte right-wing poster. That's the main difference I suppose.

if go on criticizing him, soon he will accuse of going into generalissimo mode just like he did to some other poster in another thread, the unintended consequence of his trollish replies is that they only prove my point.

or if they can't spell it, are smart enough to copy-and-paste. i'll bet even a chimpanzee could be trained to do that!

the first step is to recognize your mistakes, and then gradually try to improve your performance.

if you work on it Im sure you'll be able to abandon your trollish ways. 😉
