As far as his political views go, I may disagree with them but that doesn't mean I think he's wrong. I just don't see it how he sees it. Really, there's no good or bad guy here. But calling people stupid because you don't agree with them is not exactly the most mature way to have a disagreement. I've seen him get on here and call a lot of right wing ideas stupid. Of course you're going to have people bitch and moan at you if you say that on a forum where most of the members are conservatives. You cut them down and instead of giving them a chance to "prove you wrong," you are asking for them to dislike you, find you to be extremely immature, and to think that you're extremely close minded. If I went to a forum where the posters were mostly liberal and called them stupid and said that I was right and that they were wrong, they would give me the same responses that R13's given and I wouldn't blame them for it.

This is just something you don't do if you want people to take you seriously.

I give R13 credit, he does research issues.
