However, I do care about this site. I want it to be centered on history and politics. I do not want it centered on the personal attacks. We cannot lose one of the few red leaning posters left, and have only people who agree with the blue patten left. What would be the fun of that? Against who would we sharpen our arguments, make what is going on clear?You should care if someone from your perspective has a perspective that's messing up or over shadowing your perspective. Is he part of your perspective or are you part of his perspective? He's paid to be be here. You're not, So, what does your perspective mean to me compared to the perspective of a blue who is funded by American tax dollars and private donations from blues and foreign interests abroad that are being funneled in illegally. My advice, keep an eye on your own and don't worry about us or the Evangelicals or the deplorable as say. If Eric lives to see the blue crisis, Eric will be swinging from his own rope.
I have long thought that people who switch over to personal attacks have lost their partisan arguments. There was an old saying that the first person who mentioned Hitler had lost. I find people who switch to garbage vendetta patterns have lost. They are just covering their retreat, switching the focus from politics and history to the personal. The other guy has triumphed. Someone going personal is in a way a cause for celebration, a sign prior arguments have won. A red losing is fine, or a blue, but a site that is dominated by personal attacks is not fine. An honorable poster would just admit his loss and not ruin the site.
