I see enough of that in RL, I don't need it in cyberspace as well. I agree wholeheartedly with what Virtuous Erudite said before inasmuch as the attacking of people because of a post on a web board is asinine, and I quote him here, as I don't want anyone to take this out of context: "I think it is ridiculous that ANYONE and I mean anyone whether for this war or against is has had the audacity to call anyone a dumbass, ignorant, stupid, curse at or belittle anyone because they don't happen to agree with your opinion. "
So quite honestly I've had enough belittling for one day, no, let me rephrase myself lest I be misunderstood yet again, I've had enough belittling from people that I don't know and who don't know me, for the remainder of my lifetime. Good luck to all of you in the future, regardless of your opinions.

Hmmm...okay. Are you taking your ball and going home?
One of the reasons I enjoy heated political discussions about war and politics here on GC is because things are so different where I'm coming from. I do not personally know ANYONE (that includes classmates, professors, coworkers, friends, supervisors, parents, grandparents, siblings, other family members, veterans, active duty, Americans, foreign-born citizens, etc.) who supports this war, and I've been very confused about exactly who makes up this 70% of those who support the war. GC is actually the only forum (real life or cyberspace) where I can discuss the war with those who actually support it. I haven't really received any personal attacks, but when I have, I've simply let them roll off my back--as I do in real life. If someone belittles me, it's their problem--not mine. Leaving during a heated argument does nothing to support my argument, and if I felt it did, I wouldn't feel as if I were a mature adult.
