and all credit to you for that...
In my view, "I think the posters here on all sides of the political spectrum are intelligent and intellectually curious, but often not as open to opposing views or to earnest yet polite debate as they should be." is a rather pleasant and diplomatic way of describing instances of periodic inflexible bigotry... Though IMO primarily only affecting a minority of correspondents on this forum, I would naturally have to agree with those conclusions...:o)
As always, opinions might differ as to what might justify the description of "Trailer Trash" perspectives... On a personal basis I would instinctively summarise "Trailer Trash" folk as being uneducated, unintelligent, and complacently arrogant in their ignorance...
As regards inmates going for the jugular, whilst it would naturally be more pleasant and civilised if this were generally not the case, there are probably times when a surgical approach would be considered to be the only appropriate response... :o)
I hope you are having a pleasant Saturday...
Bill.
