lather <> conservatives.

I could count on one hand the number of non-lather posts that have been met with that level of derision. As I said way back, he's free to post, and we're free to hold his every word in contempt based on what he's said before.

I have, er, my own experience here. That was very educational.

I have never dismissed what you have written out of hand. Maybe rough, but I explained myself, and I paid attention to what you had to say. With lather, I came to see that was a waste of time. Hence : "derp" for lather.

Actually I didn't mean you personally. I appreciate your ability to hear your opponent, it's a rather rare quality.

I have tried to engage you as well, but ran into a wall when I realized that no source I offered was ever legitimate enough for you. If there can never be a common perception between two people, then there can never be a civil discussion. So I just stopped replying.

After you run off the sane ones, all you have left are the crazies.

Frankly, I don't remember what we were discussing. Some topics indeed have no legitimate sources from my point of view. At least, I haven't seen them so far.

This is very true. Can be observed in any echo chamber.
