This would probably be an accurate statement.
It also seems that your inclined to place equal credence to either camp for equality's sake. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. To me, such an approach is unrealistic. No need to for feelgoodness (if you will) by trying to keep everyone happy.
Nope. No feelgoodness here. I'm an outside observer here in this debate and I don't have a dog in the fight. I do think about the others who come onto APC to read the opinions and the ones who make career decisions based on what they read - for good AND bad.
Why should I NOT place equal credence Zapata. I don't know you any better than I know any of the others who have an opposite view. Like I said in my INITIAL post. The truth probably lies somewhere inbetween.
As for my Fox News example, that is just what it was....an example. That is what is usually meant by "i.e." No injection of political leanings exists when it is an example. Or, perhaps there would be a better element of feelgood if I would have made an equitable example by including another television news network just for equality's sake. Sorry, not my style.
No need to soapbox your political leanings in either direction.
You have been on this forum long enough to know thsat there are certain subjects (buzzwords included) that can start a thread down the wrong road. As a moderator, I do my best to try and steer threads from those zones which may lead to Reminders, Infractions, or a thread being closed.
Don't take it for more than it was. A 'friendly' rudder steer. That is my style
BTW; I didn't ask for help, nor do I need it.
Not really sure what HELP you think I am trying to give. I'm interjecting a little viewpoint from a casual observer. That is what message boards are for
, and for those others reading this posts to take on board and make up there own minds. One way or another.
