I would like to point out that I have had significant differences of opinion with everybody on the Red team on one issue or another, except Tomball. I am pretty sure that Good and I agree on very little.

I find the bolded fascinating. Clearly you and I disagree on many, many things. If I post something on here there is a very, very high likelihood that you will post something contrary to my post.

And yet.

You NEVER do that with GoodOwl's posts. Like ever. Despite you disagreeing with both of us you constantly counter my posts but never his.

Never say never, 93. That would be like saying "the Left", according to a recent discussion here. Way too sweeping.

GoodOwl and I started corresponding during the Bailiff debate, and met at the Liberty Bowl at halftime. I have great respect for him for several reasons, which shall remain private between him and me. We continue to correspond via PM.

We differed on Bailiff. Currently we differ on vaccinations and the election. You know his position on vaxxing. I have had both vaccinations and two boosters. He posted here that he understood why I made my decision. On the election, I posted here that I did not know if there was fraud or not, but time to let it go as it was a done deal. Time to turn our attention to the legal electoral means of unseating any democrats that rode in on a wave of cheating. You tell me if you think this matched GO's thinking.

Would I vote for GO or somebody like him? Probably not in the primary. I much prefer centrists in both parties. Probably so in the general, as I would expect his Dem opponent to be farther from me.

Understood. Just wondering why you hardly ever (NEVER?) voice actual disagreement to Good's posts since you disagree with a lot of what he says. You obviously are happy to post your disagreements with Lad, me, etc.

I did post my positions on vaxxing and the election protest. I did not do so in a "you are stupid" manner, but in a "here is what I think" manner.

Quote:Honestly I find quite a bit of his posts completely offensive ("You are pro-choice?!? WHY DO YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE?? RICE93 WANTS TO KILL BLACK BABIES!!!") and I'm surprised there's not more pushback from your side on that sort of rhetoric on the Quad.

I do not agree with his manner of presentation, but I understand the point he is making is that it is disproportionately black babies that get aborted. Do you understand that as his point?

As for "rhetoric", there are lots of rhetoric I disagree with, but I likely will not interject myself into an argument unless the rhetoric is aimed at me specifically or at me as a member of group. I am not the politeness police.
