"If you want to be taken seriously in a discussion, don't act like a potty-mouthed child"
However, I thought adding a little levity to the comment might be a better idea.
I do not throw out bait, and I wasn't attempting any anonymous insults, but as a member of the IW community I thought I would editorialize on the direction the discussion was going, much as others have done in this same thread. If you want to take what I say as a personal affront or an attack on behalf of the IW community as a whole, feel free, it's your choice. I happen to agree with 99% of your political viewpoints and commentary, especially since you have sources you refer to, rather than vague accusations and unsupported poll data.

No, I didn't miss your point. I was aware that you could very well have been joking, being sarcastic, whatever. I just had to step up because it came off as being offensive to the posters here and the IW population in general.
