Sorry about that, my assumption was you had a low opinion of her... as far as I know we're debating the appropriateness of the use of the word 'moron' in the thread title. Not you. My perception was that you chose to defend the use of the word, or at least critique my observation that it was probably innappropriate.

It is amazing that you guys have made this claim that the word moron in the title caused the venom but not one person has come forward to say that it incited them, including both you and fatso...who in fact have denied that it incited you.

I was making a joke originally, but one I thought had a decent grain of truth to it. Starting the thread by calling Pelosi a moron made it more likely (in my opinion) for rancorous, intense debate. I stand by that... I don't really see how I'm being controversial in believing that. I was pretty flip about it, used a smiley face, and received some pretty intense response from you for reasons I still don't fathom.

I still don't get it, but I guess you guys have proven yourselves correct by repeating yourselves and not refuting a single point I've made.

I find your style to be offensive. I believe I've made quite a few points that you haven't really addressed either. I feel like I've been pretty polite and fairly open-minded, but your condescending emoticons and debate style make it pretty tough to call this productive debate.
You also seemed to have created 'sides' that I've been lumped in to. For the record I don't care about Pelosi, positively or negatively, I literally have zero opinion on her. My original post was quite clearly not 'incited', it was funny (imo).
My original point, to reiterate, is that it is innappropriate to call Pelosi a moron in the thread title, in my opinion. By doing so, it is creating a greater chance that the debate will immediately devolve into the political pettiness we see in the thread.
