In reply to the discussion: The DU double standard... [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)You state that I came here to "start an argument" that belonged in GD. By my lights, the OP started the argument, by charging quite a few DUers with intellectual dishonesty. (No one was called out by name but the brush was pretty broad.) The OP gave a basically accurate summary of the views of many of us, and then criticized us. I answered the criticism. If you don't want the BOG to be a long-knife debating society, then perhaps you should be recommending that posts like the OP be taken outside.
I wasn't asking you what anyone else's quotation meant, and I don't see where you got that.
What I did ask you was about the parameters of the BOG. As it happens, I looked you up before I posted, so I knew you aren't a host. Your post, however, expressed a forceful opinion about one aspect of the group's rules, so I asked you to elaborate on your comment. You've declined, as is your right, so that's the end of that.
