I shall re-state in a less inflammatory manner.

Advertisements [?]

I was clearly too harsh in my weekend post, so I will say the same thing without inflammatory language.

If one peppers one's argument with insults aimed at those whose opinions they wish to sway, it will not be a successful attempt.

This is obvious to those who participate in the political process. Those on the receiving end might be forgiven, in such a situation, for believing the goal of anyone behaving in that manner is not truly to sway the opinions of those participating in the discussion, but rather to fill some unrelated and unhelpful need.

There now.
