Is it just me, or does anyone else think the Mitchthomas punk, was a Tommathews sock account. I haven't seen Tom for some time, and they show up after Mitch was sent on vacation. I see plenty of capital letters, whining for debate, and saying we only insult. It's quite the mirroring.

I would debate with you more, but it just feels wrong to engage with somebody who uses all caps. It looks like many of your posts do in fact have merit, but it just feels wrong to even bother with them when they are in the format that you have chosen.
I agree that spelling, punctuation, and grammar do not need to be perfect on a forum, but if any or all of these things are bad enough, it becomes a distraction. It reminds me of trying to talk to somebody who is chewing and snapping gum, only it is on the internet.

Hello DBCooper,
I invite you and/or anyone to (politely) take the position of the right in any Topic I have created. The most popular one simply asks (in a very neutral way) Do You Think The Rich Should Be Taxed More?

Hello Jade Dragon,
I know, right? It would be funny if it only happened once. This near constant parade is boring. I'm thinking to myself: "Fine. Quit talking about and and get on with it. Take a position on an issue. Show why you believe that." I am ready to point out any glaring flaws in the logic pattern. It is not necessary to make it personal. The issues should stand on their own merit.
Really, when somebody is reduced to making a personal attack against another, it often indicates they believe their position is weak and must be propped up with a distraction or attempt to discredit, or attention-getting emotional outburst meant to end the discussion, often because they are losing and want out.

We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
