I don't care how "mean" you are to me, as I said in the post, I can take it, but I don't think that my commenters deserve to be attacked personally because they disagree with an opinion. I personally see that as being more respective and more mature, but if you see it as middle school, that's your bag, I guess.

Sounds like you want discourse and honest opinion but only if those things are consistent with your rosy, optimistic and (sorry) naive concept of the world. I mean, sheesh, I hafta admit that your responses, Duane, do have the tone of an irritated twelve-year-old girl. Characterizing someone as "mean" is something a middle-schooler would do...

I want people to be able to talk about things; I just don't want it to get to the point that people are upset, or aren't reading anymore because of a few bad comments. I think we can all behave, though. What can I say, I am the eternal optimist! true, but I really don’t want to censor people.

That tends to stop arguments dead in their tracks Hey Duane, if things get too hectic, there is always the option to turn off comments… That tends to stop arguments dead in their tracks

I didn't realize when you referred to my illogical thought and lack of brain power that you were just trying to suggest I develop my mind (duh, I guess I thought that was an insult, I'm sorry for over-reacting - a little PMS, I guess). I totally didn't understand that you had my best interests as a well-informed liberal at heart. I misread you when you told me I crush my children or hype them on pain meds (was that humor for my lack of commas? I guess I just thought that was asinine and juvenile and unnecessarily vicious). And when you compared my right to free speech and middle-of-the-road liberal ways as being so dangerous that I was actually a threat to America and an asset to the terrorists. Damn. I totally misread that one. I took great offense at that one. I didn't realize you were just trying to enlighten me, challenge me, engage me on the issues, point out to me how I was deliberately undermining the war against terror by commenting on Duane's little ol' blog. I guess I am not used to your technique. Sort of like blogging bootcamp, or scared straight for liberals (no pun intended). So, as you can tell, I had all these great emotional reactions - totally real for me. So, sorry for going all Xena on you. I should have been the better person about it. After all, I am a liberal. Anyhoo - thanks for the book recommendation. I will check it out. Bug boy, I owe you an apology.

We "underlings" should bow to such enlightened brilliance. I predict you will be back sooner than you think. You can't stay away. And, if you want me like you want cancer, I am sure that you want a really curable kind so that you can talk about it over and over and over and over and over... God, I have never had this big of an admirer!! I am seriously blushing right now, ya'llz! I am the fucking hotness! And atlmalcontent, since I am so uninformed, you should make sure in the future, when you use a list in a sentence that requires commas, that you use one between the second to last item on that list and the "and"; because what you did was grammatically incorrect. But as you pointed out, I am uninformed, so eh, take it with a grain of salt. Enjoy you some duane baby. I know you can't get enough. ah, the enlightenment that is atlmalcontent.
