You're another one who doesn't understand my point. You can't just create productive debate on demand.

Or it could be that these people are just stupid, have you considered that? A lot of smart people with clear, concise views are constantly strawmanned, maybe it's just that most people are morons.

Ironic example of bringing down the discussion with insults. Saidit needs to figure out how to stop the constant knee-jerk labeling of people who disagree as "stupid", "morons" etc. My suggestion: Have some respect, and look for opportunities to say "I see your point, ..."
