Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=Jim Jones]Can we bury the Palin argument without choosing a winner and move back onto the original topic the thread was created to discuss?
A truce please![/quote]
Jim: Exactly. In Eavesdropper’s defense, she’s a very intelligent poster, decidely not partisan and did an excellent job of explaining her choice of using Sarah Palin (and in a way that was NOT a political threadjack).
Desmond, however, cannot seem to either grasp this, or is unwilling to accept a well-reasoned and well-explained rationale. I credit Eaves for trying to walk him through this, but, at some point, you have to realize that this person is either unable to understand or unwilling to listen.
Eavesdropper: Your attempt was well done, but clearly fell on deaf ears. Leave him be to go mutter in the corner now.[/quote]
Thanks Allan, that was a low blow. I have never talked politics, E tried to imply that I would be happy to read about Barney Frank, etc. I can’t stand any of them, I am tired how most threads turn to some political analogy and the people that side with the poster then bash the other side. I am not a super intellect as you can see from my threads. I never mutter in any corner, I just like to point out the obvious (at least to me).

As soon as I saw SP analogy, I rolled my eyes and lost interest, great job on an otherwise good thread. But remember, your different.

I wish you wouldn’t have picked Palin as an example. I agree w/the example, but I can see this turning to politics. I hope not. I got the point, which was anosognosia.[/quote]
This is a perfect example of what the article is about. The Pigg board has been in turmoil over the political hijacking in recent weeks, yet the Sarah Palin point by e-dropper, was he not capable of realizing what he was doing?
