I used to enjoy debating with tail because I do value differing opinion when presented logically. That’s how I learn and my mind can be changed on things. There was a time when tail was one of the folks I could count on for this. I’m still open for that but it’s been severely lacking for awhile. I’m not sure what happened.
When the debate starts with things like don’t be such a main stream media driven troll, or mistating someone’s view in order to argue with that, or is continually moving off point and declaring victory, or claiming lack of comprehension is a liberal thing etc., there really isn’t anything of substance to learn from or even respect.... which is a tough one for me because I want to respect differing opinions and embrace the fence post. Throwing out prefab drivel into the subject of the day doesn’t really do much and certainly doesn’t “win”. It’s actually quite weak for such a strong posture. It may make for cool T-shirt’s or hats though.
Something has changed here. Maybe it’s me but there has been an evolution that is less than flattering. Maybe that’s just life.
It’s my opinion, I could be wrong, and I have no issue if Tail lashes back at me. I’ve been thinking it for awhile and chose to put it out there. I deserve what I get and can take it. I just miss what was once intelligent debate.
I’d still smoke one with ya tail, and enjoy it. I think this medium can bring out the worst in folks without them even realizing it.
