It's not just the politics forum though, Griff. In the eathquake thread, I got stomped on for suggesting that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

classicman is now in the Technology forum posting more cheap shots and nothing useful or helpful in computer problem. He is doing exactly what Limbaugh and Beck have told him to do. Make things so nasty that the better informed will be hurt, take insult, and not challenge incessant posting and threats from extremists.

Nastiness in the Cellar comes from those who are doing exactly what Limbaugh and Beck encourage them to do. It works because so many remain silent as, for example, classicman attempts to turn another thread nasty.

No, you got stomped for saying it's our fault for not invading their country and making them do it our way.

Well, that's the only way we could have accomplished what you wanted... same thing.

C'mon Bruce, you can't be that stupid... it's just not possible. You don't understand my premise. It's not the same thing. You put words in my mouth, and backpedalled when you realized that you're wrong.
