Fair play.

Except that you undermine your position with an attack on me:
>> Jumping in to situations you know very little about is very rarely a particularly effective way of ingratiating yourself in to a new community.

This smacks of "all hail SebastianBlue" - uber knowledgeable - do not disagree with me as I have more knowledge than you do.
===
>> As you are very new to the forum, you would not know that I pride myself on reasoned, thoughtful, compassionate, respectful discussion.
Are you referring to your latest compassionate, respectectfull remarks to Dax?

Did you miss the bit where he explained his history of “debating “ with daz and how his stance towards him developed?

 

[SWP's back]

Calm down. Engage in debate. If you're trying to persuade Dax - this sort of post isn't helping at all.

If you disagree with Dax - as I do - your best recourse is cogent rebuttal.

You’ve been on this part of the forum for ten minutes. Seb has spent more than enough hours giving cogent rebuttal, he has now, like we all do, run out of patience with that nasty alt-right cumsplash.

He’s actually about to cry. Feels like he maybe knows it’s over

Bloody autocorrect. Daz washes whiter than white, not sure where dax is on that continuum

I absolutely did not.

Dax is someone whom I personally might never agree with.

SebastianBlue - seems to me - overly sensitive to criticism.

I'm immediately under attack for suggesting that he moderate his critique of Dax because "he knows better."

You seem a little over sensitive yourself while oddly lacking in sensitivity. I’ll forgive you that though if you learn how to quote properly

Running out of patience is forgivable - running out of civility is not.

I'm under attack, now, simply because I object to Seb's emotional outburst against Dax.

Look - if you're in America - we need to come together - somehow - so long as a person with an opposing view is engaging with you - you still have an opportunity to convince him or her - or at least convince others following the disccusion.

Attacking people who agree with your viewpoint but who encourage discussion with the opposition - is counterproductive... if your goal is to somehow persuade those with opposing viewpoints to your beliefs.

Attacking people who agree with your viewpoint but encourage discussion with the opposition - is... bizzare.

Welcome to the political forum.

Posters have been abusing others for the last several years on here, losing elections and referendums and then abusing them some more without realising it's not the greatest political strategy and no one is learning from the experiences.

You need to learn how to quote and multi-quote.

No one is attacking you.
