Do you agree or disagree with this general statement about where U.S. foreign policy should go?

67. Sigh... very disappointing.

I don't need to scroll up.

I'm glad you've got a good memory. I can understand why you'd decline to view the evidence for yourself.

I wasn't "negging"...I was simply making valid observations about you based on long experience.

Yes, that's "negging" whether you realize it or not.

It's respect to speak honestly about you.

No there's nothing respectful about using the code-word "NASTY" to refer to me. Trump knows what it means. Hillary knows what it means. EVERYONE knows what it means. You can't get away with sneakily calling me a B or a C without me complaining about it. I'm not going to accept that type of sexist behavior from anyone. I deserve an apology (which you'll never do) but I deserve one anyway.

You never do what we should all do and keep the conversation strictly on the issues. I'd LOVE to have that kind of exchange with you. Instead, rather than treating other posters with respect, as all posters here should be treated so long as they don't personally attack or disparage you, you treat people here who disagree with some of your views-mostly just people who are to your left on economic issues, people who aren't in disagreement with you on anything else-as though they have no right to even be posting on this board, as though if you disagree with their ideas, they should simply feel obligated never to mention those ideas here.

That's false accusations and insinuations. None of those things are true.

Besides, it's really not my responsibility to worry about how someone "feels" after their arguments or ideas have been proven wrong or unrealistic or having no place in the real world. The "attack" was on the idea, not the person. I can't be responsible for nurturing hypersensitive people who have a personal attachment to an idea. If someone "feels as though they have no right to post anything on this board" because they lost an argument... then I have to question whether they're mature enough to be here in the first place. Those are the emotions of juveniles, not adults.

Why not just say why you disagree with somebody else's ideas without acting like you are a Democrat and the most of the rest of DU aren't, as though you should be the person who gets to determine which ideas can and cannot be discussed here?

That's false accusations and insinuations. None of those things are true.
