Then you agree you are just like the cons Iposted about.
How did you get that?

BTW, supporting the Libs doesn't make me corrupt because you think they are.
I never said you were...

I don't recall you or anyone else bitching about the obvious and disgusting partisanship of RR, WMG, etc.
I began ignoring WMG a long time ago. And I have pointed it out to RR. On the flip side, I never see it from your side of the spectrum. We are both guilty of it. I'm willing to admit that, are you?

I completely agree. Derby you know you and I could sit down over a pint and discuss shit with no party lines attached.

At most you have seen me defending the Libs but rarely attacking the Cons.
That my M.O.
Yeah... I can agree with that. The same could be said for me.

Perhaps but a quick check around the forum shows a massive one-sideness of anti-Liberal attacks by cons.
No doubt. I don't even click on threads like that anymore.

Sure its usually by a group of a few but I've never seen one con attack one of them for their partisanship. Hell most agreed.
I have. It's ignored. It's against popular opinion from
both sides, so no one wants to see it. We only see what we want to see. Many lefties want to see the pack like mentality, and many cons don't want to see cons disagreeing.
Quote:
So do wee but almost all the attacks come from the con side.
Purely based on number of posts, yeah. There are probably more posts from conservatives who do that then liberals. On a percentage basis, it would probably be fairly even.

Even in a thread about Ontario elections we had a load of anti-liberal non-On people attacking the Libs baseless.
When it comes to Ontario liberal elections, it isn't very baseless

All joking aside, when I see the pack starting to light their torches, I just avoid the topic. Nothing I type will be productive.

Many people see forums like this as a perfect outlet. Some post in personas very different from them in real life. others, such as us, use this as a reflection of ourselves.
Its not always easy to determine the difference.
True it isn't. Though I can truthfully say that I am trying to take lessons away from this forum. For instance, when Jack Layton spoke at my school. I was able to pick out contradictions and various inaccuracies that I could not have done had I not had the exposure to a place like this. It makes me more aware to what I am hearing or reading.
