I'm no martyr and not seeking martyrdom. They do this to anyone with an opinion they disagree with -- name call, belittle, and ignore the point of disagreement -- it's standad operating procedure. I do it because it gets done to me so often. Of course, I also try to address the concern WHILE being a dick and flinging my poo.

This thread was *served up* for Thucy to give us his vast opinion on gender pay equality, and fairness in pay....it actually could have been a very interesting discussion about how a Liberal excercise balance when his/her ideology comes in to conflict.

That the usual suspects instead used it as a platform to launch personal attacks is indicative of their deep character flaws, as well as their inability to discuss anything complex, where blunt, singular ideology can't rule the day. they might have actually had to *think* to address this one, instead of just parrot their dusty old philosophy books...and so they attack, and then run away in fear.

It was awesome!!
