We've gotten used to the mindless gutter badinage that's typically tossed out by the righties here. Being accused of practicing solipsism, well...that's at least a step higher on the ladder. It's the odd person that actually adopts solipsism as a viable philosophy. But not far removed from solipsism, though, is the insulating quality of the internet. Persons can trash each other face to face in the newsgroups without fear of the social consequence. It's a behavior that most would find unconscionable, or at the least regrettable, in public. The behavior here is akin to road rage, where drivers are insulated from each other by the personal universe of their vehicle. I've had some good, liberal friends over the years with whom I've had some rather passionate political discussions. I generally haven't agreed with the basic tenets of their respective political philosophies; but, I've recognized that, for the most part, they were (and are) decent persons. There are a few decent liberals right here in the group. You happen to be responding to the exception. Once he starts calling you names and you see the light for what it is, you may be able to stop biting at his obvious trolls. The poster is free to comport himself however he or she wants. My personal imperative is to try to comport myself in accordance with my respect for common courtesy. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
