| CommonMan said: I really don't like the idea that is being put forth (whether it's the intent of the posts or not) that because "everybody does it" this is somehow okay behavior. It's not. Manus is clearly a left-leaning guy, it's completely his right to be upset about his side being attacked, why does he have to be fair about it? How is this situation fair to anybody no matter who is attacking who? Don't tell Manus that he has to do the same thing for the other side, that is your job. Shouting someone down doesn't make you righter or smarter, it makes you louder. Edited for clarity. |
The problem is that it's hard to take anyone seriously if they define themselves by a "side" and only view things through those rose-colored glasses.
It's completely within reason to lose respect for someone and disregard their opinion when they're so obviously biased and enact Godwin's law in the THREAD TITLE. Honestly, I see the thread title and immediately classify Manus in the same category as the people he's trying to vilify, just in a more passive state.
