Lately I have seen many posts where rather than debating the issues, posters attack each other by such name calling as ‘IRI apologists’, ‘monarchists’, ‘liberal’, ‘red necks’, etc. Why is it that when we are unable or unwilling to debate an issue, we resort to such tactics?
It reminds me of the old Western and the cowboy who was charged with stealing a horse.
One of the cowboys said, ‘Let’s hang him.’ And the other cowboy said, ‘Hold on. Before we hang him, let’s first give him a fair trial.’ Can we at least give the messenger a fair trial? Is it just me or others feel the same?
