I did not respond point by point to your last post in that thread and I won't here. It is not worth it. I have absolutely no respect for you due to what you have posted before this. I do not need more evidence and don't need to parse this to find more specific examples.This is not an indication that I agree or submit to anything you have said -- it is only recognition that you will go in circles and no progress can be made in any discussion with you.
I am not debating with you the preferential treatment you have been shown -- nobody in the history of this site has gotten away with needling so many different people over such a long time and at such great volume. And we have had people from many different parties so it is not the fact that you are a Liberal that you are getting this reaction. As a point of fact I do live in Ottawa. In my real life I know many Liberals (it is a very Liberal town). There are many Liberals I talk politics with who I respect very much even where we disagree. It is not the party -- it is you.
Okay, well good to know you take such a firm position against personal attacks. I guess the mods just can't resist my charms.
It isn't necessary to respect someone in order to treat them with basic civility. Civility doesn't exist to protect the target of someone's ire as much as it is to protect others from being subjected to it. For that reason it reflects as much or more on the person being uncivil.
