[Vision2020] Pot calling kettle..

[Donovan Arnold]

Carl,

I have rechecked my posts for 2005. I find nothing where I said "you're so 
stupid". Perhaps you can enlighten me with a link.

However, I don't find that so unbelievable considering some of the the 
people that post on here.

If I did say "you're" instead of you are, I would find that so appalling. I 
almost never us contractions, I despise contractions.   In terms of not ever 
personally attacking a person, one can only hope to live up to that level 
expectation and self discipline. But I have never used it as a long term 
strategy for winning an argument as I meant it to be when I said "Attack the 
argument, not the person making it." Some people, well really, all people 
need to pointed out their errors so they can better themselves. However, if 
I am arguing that people who are gay or lesbian should be allowed equal 
opportunity in a community, and someone points to the Bible and says, 
"Leviticus chapter something verse whatever says 'blah blah, blah'", I 
should counter their argument with logic, not their hair style, because what 
if another person with a different hair style makes the same argument? That 
is what I meant by attack the argument not the person. I meant it not as a 
moral imperative, but a long term viable political strategy.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
