Default Re: Hi

I wanted to add to this. Vigorous debate is a part of politics, but everyone must remember that you aren't going to convince that many people. Many people are certain enough that their position is the correct one that they believe anyone that disagrees with them must be stupid. I can assure you this isn't the case; there are many smart people that disagree with other smart people. After you state your case there is no reason to repeat the same thing over and over in one thread, so please don't do it.

What if it's clear that the person you're talking to doesn't understand what you're trying to tell them so you try finding different ways to say it?

I don't see a problem with this if there is genuine interest on both sides. What you have to remember about politics is that people believe strongly enough in their positions that they think anyone that disagrees with them is either stupid or trolling. There are times when you have to realize people will just disagree and saying things the most times or the loudest will not change that.

Well, it appears the new regime's goal of squelching the postings by the only group to demonstrably, repeatedly convince many other people is well under way.

In my professional capacity as a teacher, I can assure you, repetition works. Especially is you keep saying the same things in different ways.

No, I do not believe that is their intention. The shinning new regime can delete my next five posts if they disagree.

What they are after is a consumer-friendly experience of this forum, like your favorite breakfast cereal. They seek the clean, and I approve of their efforts.
