Message: <blockquote data-quote="( deleted account )" data-source="post: 217313" data-attributes="member: 5993">From  reading  your posts for years GST, in my opinion your main problem is that when anyone has an opinion that differs from yours, you interpret it as them trying to ram their opinion down your throat and force you to agree or abide by it,  or them insisting on winning some kind of  non existent argument.  However, a discussion with someone expressing an opinion about something  is NOT an argument and should not be interpreted as such or develop into an argument.  No one ever WINS  an argument and nothing positive ever results.  No winners or losers in a discussion either, but often positive, out of the box new ideas crop up, and often other people learn something they weren’t aware of.  my second suggestion is that if someone does disagree with you and happens to be even slightly to the left of your often far right rigid opinion of something, even if that person is well to the right of center of the “Normal left right probability curve” (understand what Im saying here, GST? To the left of you but far from LIBERAL!) then you immediately brabd them with the inevitable LIBERAL, LIBERAL LIBRAL nonsense. You and Plainsman are  famous for that and have driven many good intelligent members from several websites over the years, though that’s another story.in any case, remember that being Conservative is a wide, wide range, and not just one little tiny finite spot far to the right of center! There room for the rest of us somewhere in that big expanse, too!   Also, many of us happen to think fairly Liberal (omigod, he admits it!!) on some issues and extremely conservative on others, and everywhere in between on others! Nothing wrong with that, but please don’t label these people as horrible unamerican traitors or any of the many names rigid thinking people come up with. try think of these suggestions a bit before shooting from the hip and maybe you’ll have a few more friends on websites and not alienate so many good people!  Or maybe you do it on purpose. Your choice. Not trying to hurt your feelings, only a bit of advice.</blockquote>
