Doesn't that make you feel empty... like saying 'you love lamp' ? No wait that would be like defending the lamp when someone says it sucks.
Or perhaps someone did that you in another post and you replying to the wrong thread?
The poster we responded to made a general slam against several posters, and it's patently obvious who he intended to address. It's also obvious he completely misunderstood the reservations that had been expressed about the original proposition, and threw up a straw man in response. Some of us rightly called foul.
It's rather perplexing, too, because it LOOKED like we'd reached an understanding and were on the path toward something everyone could work with. Now here you and the other guy fan the flames again.
Why?

It really doesn't make horribly much sense when you take it out of context, but I even so I don't think it constitutes an attack.

As for who was named; my name was not invoked, I concede. Which is relevant, how?
The comment was addressed to
people related to communities that claim to value "freedom" as a fundamental tenet
utterly committed to constraining the editorial options of [itT].
One who paints with a broad brush is likely to receive defenses from many directions; if pa28pilot's goal was to target only certain individuals, listing their names would have been appropriate.

Well i didnt expect the threatening pm from texrat... but the response here was expected...
Yes i take the liberty to chastise you in the same way your chasting others.
Since i gain no enjoyment from it other than to highlight the common 'emotional' tenor which the 'we' camp obviously uses to rebuke dissenting opinions.
None of the people i quoted need to take this deep into your soul... since i dont care enough about my observation other than i felt the need to share that unfortunate insight of the 'trending' here with you. Some of you actually did put thought into your response but should have generalized their response so as not to incite the type of anger which you might now be experiencing.
This by the way has nothing to do with the topic being discussed but its tenor.
