34. I have not slammed shut any doors
to dialogue whatsoever. However your coming back with "I seldom agree with you in fact" is certainly a put-down and a door slammer. You suggest that this is my general nature or something, from your extensive personal observations. Care to explain? (I didn't think so).

It's not Lamont's supporters that I'm worried about here. It is the association of all Democrats to the left of Lieberman as "Al Qaeda" sympathizers -- that is way over the line of civility in the context. Yes I take that personally. And I think it will sell very well in Rushworld. And I think my opinion was not stingy in the least. I applaud the people who emailed CNN --that was very much to the point. But I also think the response was nothing to crow about. Better than nothing, sure. But the damage is done.

So how come you don't like me and take a minor comment so personally? Wow, I'm not that special around here. More of a reader/cheerleader most of the time. What's up with you? Seriously--let's dialogue. Let's work it out, since that's what you accuse me of not having the capacity for. And I think my larger question is a valid one. Do 'apologies' really change anything? I don't think "Al Qaeda" is a slip-of-the-tongue.
