I was just distracted by the other poster, not attempting to ignore your post. I appreciate what you said.
I'm not sure I see any point to all of this. My point was to ask Dr. Bob if he considered this civil. Choosing not to read this type of post would not in any way make this better for me. It would just feel like people saying things behind my back. And while I know it's not directed to me in particular, the fact is that it's directed to me. If someone says all people who voted for Bush are XXX, then they are saying that I am XXX. They don't need to name me by name. If something is done to an entire class of people, it is done to a member of that class by default. I'm not taking it personally. I'm taking it as a statement about a class of people, of which I am one.
