Reply #37: You mean the OP, posted by reprehensor? [View All]

And you are aware that reprehensor has posted an article written by another individual?

muddying the waters with other topics is another "good" technique.

Lumping five wide-ranging topics together that each occur under different circumstances, and have many points to be considered each on their own, do not a cohesive ideology make. if you're looking for "lockstep", you're not going to find it at DU, or with the Democrats, for that matter.

What precisely do you find so "smart" about Cocoa's post? autorank has long used caps and colored letters in his own posts, no matter the topic. Do bold letters in a headline always constitute yelling? They are emphasis, they are meant to denote importance and command attention.

Why is it suddenly today construed as yelling?

And as for the other bit of "smart" why shouldn't some tit for tat be part of the argument, considering the condescension and insult that has faced the Election reform movement from the first question about 2004, right up to this day. That's how human beings communicate at times after a year or so of personalized crapola flung their way. Not noble, but that's the way it fucking goes.

So maybe to some, the evidence will finally "become evidence" when enough people look at it and AGREE that it is. It's already happening. That's the nature of reality.

It's difficult to argue with how people view reality, or even choose--for whatever purpose--to view reality. It's best to move forward with that which we DO agree with, rather than endlessly harping on the same personal pet peeve in every post, imagining that if only someone listens to us the movement will take off like a bat out of hell.

Well, the reality is that it is moving. and it will continue to move in the direction of the truth and Democracy despite my--or anyone else's--personal wounds, imagined or real, be they from sincerely unfortune misunderstanding, or purposeful quashing.

If you feel that it's a flame-bait thread, you are free to hit the alert button and explain why you perceive it as such.

As I say, I'm moving on...as of right now.
