I understood **elucidator’s** point perfectly, I just chose to ignore it because it wasn’t a valid objection. **kaylasdad99** essentially warned me that he will hold anyone voting for McCain to be vile and evil and dispicable people, and by implication that if I support McCain this is how he’ll view me. It’s a typical leftie ploy. Try to stifle dissent by making your opponents feel they are bad, evil people (i.e., racist, sexist, selfish, greedy, etc - the list goes on), and thus intimidate them into voting/thinking the way lefties want…or at the very least not voting/thinking the way they normally would. I merely told him to stuff it, that I wasn’t going to be intimidated. If people on the internet can feel they have the power to intimidate me with their accusations that I’m an evil person, I can and will use my own electrons to tell them to go jump in a lake. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/open-letter-to-bricker/462263)._
