Dan is an idiot. It's redunda...It's true. Dan is an idiot. It's redundant to say so. I just prefer that visitors to my blog save their name calling for me, since it doesn't bother me in the least, and at the same time, leave it to me to call the idiots "idiots". That way, only I take heat for the ad homs and in addition, a certain level of civility is maintained between guests. <br /><br />At the same time, there are other ways to get the point across. Dan is also a liar, for instance. (Whether intentionally or not doesn't matter. He supports obvious lies.) It's far easier to defend a charge of lying than it is to defend a charge of idiocy. However, one can also say an opinion is idiotic and explain that easier than defending the name calling. <br /><br />More importantly, it's just bad practice and makes the name caller look bad. People will forget the logic of the argument once the logical person hurls an epithet. The stereotypes will be reinforced. Let the lefties and trolls act poorly. Let us rise above it.<br /><br />That's why I insist on being both target and source of all name calling. Besides, I think I do it in a funnier way.
