    IMHO it’s fair to paste a very well said reply to a very common misconception.

      yuck. no. it accuses their opponent right out the gate with “blue conservative”; something that is both intentionally heavily acerbic and an untenable attack without deep and rigorous investigation.

      my problem isn’t the comment or its content. it’s the spam and the utter unwillingness to engage with peers as humans with diversity of opinion.

        The content matters more than the tone; the person to whom they replied didn’t say anything new.

      All-purpose chin-stroking wall of text is not “well said.” It’s littering.

        It’s not all-purpose. This misconception is frequently repeated.
