Permit to inquire if you would consider calling those who vote for Democrats "low information voters" would qualify as "name calling" or an "insult"? If not, would you agree that Rush Limbaugh, the man from whom Smitty and others got this term, certainly uses it as an insult? Would you not be able to concur that calling someone names and then complaining about the favor being returned is hypocritical (although to be fair, I haven't seen Smitty complain)?
Finally, I don't disagree with you that he can post what he wants within the rules of the board. That is beside the point. You are also correct that no one will honor threads that are not compelling. In point of fact, I would submit that the majority of these cut and paste threads have no responses. And with the ones that do, it is usually a single comment of approval from you or LumRaiderFan.
At the end of the day, if that's what you guys want this board to be, okay. It just gets to the point where those looking for a real discussion no longer visit it or post. And I would argue that is exactly what has happened with some of better contributors to this board.
