You're confusing me with the poster who you rudely told to "scram". I was just pointing out that the poster is every bit as welcome here as you are.

No one's asked you to back down from being a Democrat. I certainly haven't. Your affiliation is your own affair. I happen to be an independent now, but that doesn't mean there has to be conflict between you and I (I'm not looking for any, unless you defend corporatism or illegal wars :D )

Based on the fact that you got angry with the entirely wrong poster after being rude to the one I stuck up for, perhaps you should consider that your emotions are getting ahead of your judgment. Perfectly understandable, and I'm in no way angry - just some friendly (really!) advice.
