Debate is not really welcome here now, by most.

The learning value has decreased dramatically, unless one wants to learn how to insult someone.

A shame, really.

JJ, you're basically a swell fellow, but, please, spare us. You're spinning a fairy tale. This very thread you are posting in draws on bullshit, lies, and innuendo, the very worst of internet attack propaganda. It was not placed here from any sincere desire to foster dialog; it's a perfect example of conservative alt reality with which dialog is impossible. See Leonard Pitt's excellent article about how this sort of thing destroys the very idea of 'common reality.' How conservative pundits helped break reality: Leonard Pitts Jr.

Mr. Joad has been told to get lost, I figure, not for merely 'repeatedly expressing an opposing viewpoint.' Asserting that is the reason, in fact, requires stupendous willful blindness. Indeed, the idea verges on a 'big lie.'

It basically takes two to debate. I know of no one on the right here willing and able to do it at this time.
