This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

>Ignorant/Stupid

>Adam Thornton: Under which of these do you classify "arguing from a different set of axioms"? 

Both I guess. Even the some of the simplest people on earth can arrive at the conclusion:"We'll
just have to agree to disagree".  Insistance on self-rightness under those conditions 
might be a function of stupidity or ignorance about the possibility of a "different set of axioms". 
Or it could be just plain old cussed stubborness.

>That's how I feel about US political discourse recently.

Which nation's political discourse lacks ignorance, stupidity and plain old cussed Stubborness?
