Dear Leo,

It has been a real challenge in debating someone
who exhibits an almost cult-like conviction and
a cocksure attitude about an argument based on
fallacies, misinformation, and ignorance.
Someone who relies on name-calling, and insults,
and are convinced that their view is the one-truth
and all others are misguided, even wicked.
Sociologists would have a field day.

Ah well, I've got to admit the more extreme the views
the more challenging I find them.
It would be quite boring after a
while if all the debates on this forum were entered into
in a completely dispassionate and well reasoned and
intelligent manner. The bat-shyte crazies do have a place.
After all - they do entertain us all.

A few more thoughts as I exit ...
(Left or Right - I haven't decided yet):

Talking about "Right-Wing Blowhards "and "Typical Lefties"...

An article in the Washington Post tells us that -
a new study out of Yale University confirms what
argumentative "Typical Lefties" have long known.
Offering reality based rebuttals to "Right Wing Blowhard"
lies only makes them cling to those lies even harder.

In essence schooling "Right-Wing Blowhards" makes them even
more stupid. If they insist on political views that belong
in Fantasyland - save your breath. You'll only make things
worse. There's plenty of other things to argue about.

It is the Football Season, after all.
Go Goodes!

Did you make that rubbish up, Foxy, or did you read an article of which you have no clear recollection?
Another lie from you by the implication that you are combating right wing lies. I have definitively advised you when I identified a lie from you, but you have located no lies in my assertions, because they are not there.
Goodes may not have escaped the consequences of his behaviour just yet. He was still booed when he touched the ball, unless he made a mistake, which was cheered.
Still no further news of the schoolgirl victim of his false “racism” allegation. She is the only concern, not the big-mouth sook.

Dear Leo,

Just to set the record straight.

Adam Goodes received a warm welcome from the
Geelong crowd - according to the Herald Sun
"Only a small pocket of people tried to stir
something unwarranted and unnecessary - especially
given the teams ran together in solidarity onto
the field. " Yet you try to make a big deal out of
this "pocket of people," despite the feelings on display of
the crowd majority. The crowd thundered and cheered as soon as
Adam Goodes stepped onto the field.

Shame on you.

Sad- really.

Foxy, did you not read the comments below the article to which you linked?
Here is a selection:
"the evolution of crowd reaction to adam goodes has moved from boos to the sarcastic cheering of his mistakes. Baby steps
Goodes still getting booed. Proves the @afl is a joke of an organisation and proves my point you cant tell anyone what to do.
The commentators can ignore it or sugar coat it all they like but Goodes is still getting booed! The game is bigger than the individual.

Definitely some booing in the Geelong crowd tonight when Goodes touches the ball"

You are really averse to the truth,Foxy
"Shame on you."

Dear Leo,

Nice try - but it won't wash.

The Herald-Sun article makes it quite clear
that
the small "pocket of booers,"
did not represent Geelong as a whole.
And the majority of the audience showed the respect
that Adam Goodes deserved and had earned.
Read the entire article, and look at the images displayed.

And if you still believe that you're right.
Well, I have no control over that.
I can't help you any further - and there's nothing
more to be said.
