13. Your assertions that the BOG is a place where discussion isn't allowed
is beyond absurd so I didn't bother reading anything beyond that.


In the GLBT group they don't want to have discussions with people that aren't for same sex marriages, in the Gun forum they don't want to have discussions with people who don't share their particular understanding of the second amendment and so on. In the BOG and the BO(G) there are people who don't want to have discussions (at least while they are in that forum) with people that don't share a strong desire to see the President re-elected and admire his character.

That you can be strongly for the re-election of somebody and admire their character and yet not agree with everything he says or does is understood by most adults.

What is less easily understood is;

1) Why people like yourself who are so antagonistic to the idea of a BOG continue to end up going there. If that forum doesn't seem like a fit for you then why do people like yourself end up there? What is the attraction for you?

2) It is informing, I think, that while people object to a forum like the BOG because they are worried about mass deification of the Mr. Obama no one raises the same objection to the other groups that are formed by adherents of other Democratic politicians. No one is chastising the Denis Kucinich group for example. So it appears for some it is fine that other Democratic leaders have a group that supports them but only the group that supports Mr. Obama raises such an incredible level of animus and disruption.

Now that wouldn't be because he is left handed would it?
