More personalizing.
I would think "dial it back" would be reserved as criticism for
someone who makes comments about other posters (their intelligence,
motives, candor, or just name calling) which I hope is obvious that
I never do. That's why I point out others who do.
What "talking points?" Who writes them? Where would I go to get
them?
Respectfully, I think your post is just a round about way of asking
someone you disagree with to stop talking.
I'll try to indulge.
I posted something unique to AP today in addition to the national
poltical stuff.
Folks for the most part are ignoring it and going straight for the
other stuff.
What does that mean?
