Let me start by saying I'll never have a problem with you for multiple reasons. But I generally try not to take people's attacks on my political views personally. No matter how personally they attack me.
Second, I find you in particular to be an honest arbiter. Even though I recognize that your world view naturally has a negative view of mine. In spite of that, you been gracious. Even if it doesn't come across in our exchanges, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. Now that's on the personal...
To the facts of our current exchange, I have to say I disagree with you. And as the posts from Super and foggy have noted. We are all in agreement that the point of the original post was "Trump's voters."
Super_citys point wasn't that I was wrong on what the thread was about, but rather in the conclusion I reached. He surmised (correctly I might add) that there were other possible explanations other than they were stupid...
I admit, he is right But those conclusions were even worse than the one I proposed. Contrary to super_city claim, It wasn't that these other potential conclusions didn't occur to me.(.. I mean all you have to do is watch any liberal channel and you'd hear then suggest it constantly), it's that I purposely chose the least negative interpretation of his claim.
But, I stand corrected. Foggy came up with a less negative possibility... Trump voters are Naive. That's less negative than stupid.
So I take back my original claim of "Stupid," and replace with "Naive." It's nicer.
As for taking on the "air of superiority" granted, you said that might not be the right word, but I get what you are saying. I haven't.
I am exactly the same to be fair. Sometimes I write long annoying posts that get cherry picked. And other times, I am short an exasperating. Coz I'm frustrated..
True, there are fewer personal abusers now. As most of them don't post as much or attack me personally anymore. They've said their piece about me and are satisfied to let it be.
I don't think I goad anyone in particular, maybe Foggy? But not really. I'm often just responding to what he says or thinks of me. But not with any intent to goad him. I do however often challenge his analysis or conclusions. But I've always done that.
Anyway, I don't think the way I respond has changed at all. Perhaps the way others react to me has a bit. I'll agree on that.
