> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > In other words; no you don’t, and you don’t have any actual arguments for your side, or even any arguments against ours that you’ve been willing to present. What? The whole point of my post was to encourage your side to create a believable argument. As in not one manufactured by various partisan blogs. Predictably, they can’t. Yet they just love to slither onto any forum they can to denounce the intelligence of their opposition. It’s pretty easy for an idiot to say that everybody’s an idiot. ---

So you are stuck in your own little echo chamber of like beliefs that hate all dissenting beliefs. Yes, that’s why you’ve been banned faster than a Nader voter on FreeRepublic oh wait… We’ve presented actual facts and an actual argument. You’ve presented nothing and ignored everything we’ve presented. Which leads us to the conclusion that you’ve _got_ nothing. Meanwhile, you’re busily dismissing all views that dissent from yours as ignorant. Funny about that… ---

Stop, both of you. **lycopersiyum** , personal comments are not welcome in this part of the site, so your tone is becoming inappropriate for this forum. And I have to add that you are demanding cites for no particular purpose. If you Googled this yourself, you’d see that Chick-Fil-A’s donations are a very well established fact. The company does not dispute what its WinShape foundation does with its money. It would argue that it’s not hateful, but it’s known that the company gives money to the Family Research Council and other groups. All of this hostility was unnecessary. ---

You’re right that I can do it. In fact I already did it. I could quote more of your posts, but I don’t think that’s necessary. You are new here and I think you’d be well served to figure out what the rules and the arguing style are instead of jumping in with guns blazing. Now: if you have further questions about the moderating, please start a thread in the About This Message Board section or ask me by private message. Stop posting these comments in this thread.
