You have a penchant for discussing politics, etc., with Harry. That is, in
effect, taking sides.
You're free to do so, of course, but you are 'taking sides' IMO. Granted,
you haven't stooped to his level of name-calling, but by your continued
discourse with him you're providing him a lot of encouragement.
But, that's your choice.

I am not a 5th grader taking "sides" John.

I think there's a big difference between having disagreements about
politics, boats, guitars, wine, collard green receipes or whatever and being
able to discuss, even debate the subjects without resorting to name
calling/insults ..... and the tit for tat personal insults that are
constantly being hurled back and forth here.

I try (not always successful) to subscribe to that rule and I have no
problem conversing with anyone who displays the same level of respect to me,
even if we disagree 100%. Even Harry.


You have the luxury of being one of the two here wafa kisses up to..
the rest of us I guess just have to hold our noses.



Behave as you wish to be treated, or stop whining. Easy choice. You
don't see me whining.
