Scott, Thank you for this. I really try to present my views in a factual manner without hostility or malice, dissecting the arguments but never attacking the person.
I will admit to frustration sometimes when the responders to me use words like liar or racist, as I work daily on trying to be the best person I can be, lying is absolutely anathema to me, and I've spent my entire adult life fighting again racism and discrimination. Several times recently I have nearly left forums of political discussion, including this list, because it seemed that nothing I said was being heard for what it was, only used to as an excuse to ridicule me. But folks like you are the reason I stay. We may not agree on all topics, but at least we can have civil discourse.
