@Finn dAbuzz,

That was more for Foxfyre's benefit. I wanted her to know that I hadn't wanted to honor this thread with a response pro or con because it didn't seem worthy of that.
I don't really approve of its existence either, and my response to threads I don't approve of most often to ignore them, as people have suggested. That seems most logical and that's what I usually do.
But when this liberal stereotyping started again, that got the better of my resolve and I felt the NEED to respond to that point.
I suppose I could have pm'd Foxfyre to let her know my post on this thread was only to speak to that point and not to support it in any other way- except that she and I don't have that sort of 'friendship' or relationship and I didn't want to seem too familiar and make her uncomfortable and as if she'd need to respond in some way she didn't genuinely want to.
Quote:Meanness or dishonesty can hardly be classified as "liberal," or "conservative" 'traits. They can be characterized as the predominate traits of many of the liberals on A2K, because you are right that these are personality traits, and they happen to be the common personality traits of many A2K liberals who have chosen Foxfyre as their favorite target.
Yes, but why only the North American liberals? I'm sorry, but I find that point very interesting.
Or maybe a more direct question - why does it only seem to be North Americans (aside from the Mexican members) who start this sort of thread about other members? Has there ever been one started by a European, Australian or Asian member? I am sincerely curious.
