I was reminded of this the other day, when I was having a 2nd Amendment discussion with a person who was of a leftward-leaning persuasion. I wondered how many paragraphs it would take for the Keyboard Kommandos in PARF to go personal. This lefty and I had a very good discussion, even though we didn't agree on any point. It was kind, and respectful, and pleasant. I think I may have even gained some understanding from the discussion. The contrast with PARF made me smile.

The likelihood of something like that happening in PARF is zero. Not near zero, but straight at zero, no question. Just like in every other politics/religion forum ghetto in the internet. The commentary and the "points" brought up are identical. It is only the screen names that are different. The tone is identical, and the types of interactions. And when I say identical, I don't mean similar or analogous.

I guess that is why you can't seem to stay out of PARF or stop posting about it here in OT. Just like here, you and others like you pop in, take a cheap shot, and then come over here to complain about "those other guys" in PARF when you get the same in return. Whenever there is a contentious topic here in OT, it doesn't take long for one of you to bring up PARF. When you post in PARF, you never bring any rational conversation or new information, it is always personal. If insulting the folks that post in the other forum like you have here is your idea of an "adult conversation"...that explains a lot.
