You put yourself there with your behavior. If you don't like it, then
change the way you act.

(which was an ad hominem attack to my discussion of a principle)

1- I am not at the "opposite end of the political spectrum" except
possibly with regard to principle

Clearly a matter of opinion. I tend to believe you are among the most
liberal of posters herein, only slightly to the right of Bubbles. You, of
course, are in constant verbal denial of this, but the facts speak for
themselves: you've supported one of the most liberal of democrats ever to
run for president, and you have regurgitated much of the same dogma that I
see on the far left websites. You've branded any of the current
conservative players in the political mess to be corrupt, illicit, and
without morality. You call them all "neocons," as if this is an abberation
of your brand of "conservatism." None of the conservatives I know
personally have any of these viewpoints.

2- My behavior is very considerably different. You and Dave are the only
ones who think I insult others for disagreeing, and then only some of the
time. Everybody knows that you do it all the time.

No one in the NG is lilly white w/r/t ad hominems, but both Dave and I tend
to discuss principles without attacking you. You, OTOH, seldom debate an
issue without attacking me personally, and I suspect you attack Dave as
well, although I really don't read enough of your and his posts to know for
sure. It's a suspicion based upon your behavior with me.

So it isn't really a question of "belief" now is it?

Right. It's more a question of denial: yours.
