I have and it's not pretty. I wouldn't want to be the blue dickhead who finds themselves at odds with an American Red with no Democratic support because they're viewed as being such dickheads. Dude, I didn't get to the position that I'm at today by being nice, playing nice and trying to be friends with liberals/blues/progressives. Ask yourself this question, how thick is the Democratic barrier these days. I broke through that protective barrier many years ago and the blues found themselves losing ground, losing popularity and losing support ever since. Look around, you're down to less than a handful vs me and whoever else who wants to pitch in and do their part opposing the blues these days. I remember the day when regular Democrats and left leaning libertarians couldn't say shit or say anything bad and say anything they disliked about the blues in public. I changed that during my stint posting as KIA.

When I first arrived at T4T, the conservatives on the old forum outnumbered the liberals roughly 2 to 1.  That ratio changed quickly to the opposite as the conservative arguments proved false and indefensible.  Even Marc Lamb had to pitch it in.  I doubt you were here when he departed.

Now, arguing that violence is executed better by Reds than Blues makes a mockery of your argument that you won the intellectual argument.  You didn't.  Then again, no one has definitively won at this point, because the argument continues.  Fist fights, on the other hand, don't play so well -- and shouldn't, in a civilized society.  Though less physically harmful, verbal abuse is no better.

I arrived in 2003. I was around when Marc Lamb (Devil's Advocate) was permanently banned for an altercation that occurred with Craig during a private exchange. I wasn't involved in that private exchange. However, I was involved in an altercation during a private exchange with Craig which resulted in the permanent loss of my posting privileges as KIA-67 and the eventual removal of Craig as the sites moderator. I wasn't around when you arrived and the conservatives had a 2 to 1 advantage. I arrived after so-called liberals like you and others like you had taken over and clearly established themselves as the dominant force and the so-called liberals had a 10-1 advantage.
