Superman

That's kind of uncalled for. If I give you a fact (and granted I don't know if Fast is posting facts or not) why do you call him an idiot, as opposed to saying show me the facts/references. An idiot is someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, but who thinks he does, as opposed to someone who is saying something that you don't agree with or want to read.

For example, saying a Brand X car is the best car in the world, and you saying if you thing Brand X is the worst car, and you're an idiot for believing that. I think in actually that would make you the idiot because your basing your opinion on some pre-conceived notion, not facts, or issues for discussion/debate. If I remember correctly Superman, your a liberal. To me you present the classic liberal attitude which to me is that if you don't agree with me, then they must be an idiot/facist/racist/insert your own deragotary invictive here. Why don't you try interacting on a slightly higher plane by engaging Fast or anyone else and challenge them rather than dismissing them by calling them an idiot, which is actually a pretty easy/low bar dismissive. You can do better than that, I hope.

It would be like saying Clinton was a great president but he like to get his dick sucked by at least one intern and saying your "using exaggerated stories of his eccentric behavior" If he did it, he did, if the documented history shows it to be true, then so be it. Me personally, I may look at a persons human fraility and say "hey, he's kinky/or weird, but he did good work" If Lincoln was a homosexual, or just plain weird, so what. I'd rather look at what he actually did. As far as whether or not he was a good president, or a lousy one who needlessly participated in the deaths of over one million americans during the Civil War, I'll leave that to others to decide.

BTW, regarding the Clinton getting his dick sucked thing, I think it was bad judgement and he should have just admitted or walked away from it claiming the 5th. Although I'm sort of a republican (and embarrased by their drunk spending habits) I give Clinton credit for actually balancing the budget his last year and actually sort of trying to pay off the national debt.
