So instead of handling a difference of opinions like mature adults, as you would have me believe they are, they instead choose to talk in all caps and generally behave like teenage flamebait?
I understand that they're doing it purposely. But that they are acting like children willfully doesn't make me think any more highly of their intellect than I would if they were truly typing to the best of their abilities.
Their behavior, as well as yours, has been rude, juvenile, and insulting from the beginning. Only two people who have commented back to me have had the maturity to at least approach this debate as if they were, in fact, not fourteen-year-old AIM chatters, and with those people I am noticably more polite and willing to try to understand their point of view. But behavior like this barely deserves my attention, much less my respect. The only reason I continue to reply to any of you three still is because you all seem to have a very warped sense of what counts as a 'victory' for you--given your view of the election results--and I'm certainly not going to give you reason to think that you've defeated me somehow, and thus provide you with more reasons to gloat in the faces of Democrats.
