No, I was not belittling them. One page ago in this very thread I asked the poster and honest question and they took it as an argument. I was genuinely interested in their perspective and wasn't sure why saw my responses as a "rebuttal" and wanted to ensure that didn't happen again.

And unlike Mull, this IS an attack, and I demand you put the defences up!

I wasn't patronizing, I was trying to make sure my intent was clear, as I previously engaged the poster and somehow the poster didn't take it as such.
Below are the quotes in question, I wasn't defending Biden/Harssis but wondering what the progressive left was hoping to be done to fix this. It wasn't a "gotcha" question but an honest one, I assumed there was an answer other than it just sucks. Instead I somehow got the poster on the defense and wanted to avoid it.

Not everything is a fight, insult or attempt to dig at someone.
I was and still am interested in their perspective on AFC's alternative perspective. Its good discussion on a very serious topic which I why I joined this forum.
I engaged rube on this issue because I value their view- as I am far right of them and want to have them help me understand their perspective to see what I may be missing - not because I wanted to take pot shots at them as Pepsi seems to do to me for some reason
