I've never banned anyone from a thread, but if I were going to Desh would have been a likely candidate, mostly because five misspelled words talking about conservatives with testicles in their mouths in the most vulgar way possible was never a political argument.
Don't get me wrong. I liked Desh. She was entertaining. She honestly believed that all the spiders counted at the bottom were folks watching the debates with rapt attention and that she was making a difference by posting on sites like this one. Personally I think foul mouthed insults don't convince folks of much, but Desh was a True Believer in her popular appeal.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle
