i've been civil lately, and refrained from making any personal attacks.
as far as not responding to each other period... i think it adds a little salt and pepper to the forum, having two extreme opinions which so frequently clash, so long as things are kept civil and sources are backed up.
i have no issue with anyone challenging my viewpoints on any subject. i have the beliefs i do because i spend so much time studying politics, news, and history. i'm not saying i'm always right, and i remain open to changing my views should sufficient evidence be provided to make me do so.
i don't seek arguments, but i do enjoy discussion, especially with folks who see things in a totally different light than i do. i'm interested in learning WHY they see things that way, and seeing if there's anything i might be able to pick up.
at the end of the day, we're all gun folks, and more similar than it appears watching us bicker.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. - Goethe
