		<description>Don&#039;t worry, Mike.  The following isn&#039;t meant to flame, but an honest attempt at clarity and understanding.


@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-151712&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Craig&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;Wordsmith,

I never said you were a good guy. I said that you have a good guy’s attitude. Nuances, my friend… nuances!
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think I understand where you&#039;re coming from on this, based also in other things you&#039;ve said in other threads.  

You think, for example, Obama is evil and hates this country (your own words, more or less).  Do you think I too, believe this, yet won&#039;t say so and put on a Machiavellian face of appearing to be &quot;a nice guy&quot; for the sake of &quot;centrism, bipartisanship, moderation, etc&quot;?

If not, then what?</description>

Enough of this bickering.

I&#039;m going to follow Barack Obama&#039;s first reaction to the Russian invasion of Georgia and say both sides are responsible and should withdraw.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-151583&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Craig&lt;/a&gt;: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Well, Craig has already admitted that he only reads/listens to people he agrees with.” (Aye)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Aye, Ayoye! You are a master of distortion. Remarkable! I only read and listen to people that are credible… big difference. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

A &quot;master of distortion&quot; you say?

Really?

You should use &lt;strong&gt;&lt;blink&gt;extreme caution&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; when you accuse me of such things.  Your words are right here on the page for everyone to read.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.floppingaces.net/2009/01/13/obama-and-pay-to-play-reader-post/#comment-151440&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Let&#039;s review: &lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;So you thing I’m wrong and I think you are wrong. Big deal! This won’t make me change my mind. And too bad for the people who reads bullshit from idiots to make their own opinion. &lt;strong&gt;I do not agree with these authors, I now chose my authors very carefully.&lt;/strong&gt; I know I am in good hands with Friedman and Vieira and many others alike. Pro-Hamas people read shit obviously, but that is their problems, not mine. Lefties read bullshit MSM, that is their problem also. &lt;strong&gt;I am very selective in my reading.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

(Emphasis added by me, Aye Chihuahua)

So, there you have it, Craig.

Your own words.

You said that you are very careful to choose authors that you agree with.  You said that you are very selective in your reading.

So, where&#039;s the &quot;distortion&quot; you accuse me of?</description>

		<description>Can we get everyone to shake hands and move on?  Not that this is any of *my* business and e-mail me to tell me off if you think I&#039;m out of line or dump this post.  All this razzing back and forth doesn&#039;t measure up to the quality of this site and the obvious time and hard work put into it.  Loving you all as I do, it&#039;s quite disturbing to see this.</description>

Again, it would be better directing that energy at your political opponents.</description>

		<description>You are so childish Wordsmith you are losing all your credibility.   You are an author here, stop ridiculising yourself with your hater that has no ending.   I don&#039;t hate you, I just don&#039;t agree with you.    Get yourself together and forget it.   You can listen to Vieira if you want, they are reproducing the tonight show. http://www.plainsradio.com/chat1.html</description>

I didn&#039;t realize the criteria for a successful blog is having a community of commenters.  

Oh, wow...76 comments in this thread!  Soooo impressive!


FA was successful with just Curt; sure it&#039;s been enriched by you and others here.  But if Craig&#039;s presence is the gold standard of a vibrant community, color me unimpressed.  ;)</description>
