Common ground #5...
5) Ad hominem attacks add nothing to a dialogue and only escalate animosity. My response was to an ad hominem attack on me. "escalate animosity"? You crack me up too, dude.  So you looked into my soul and just knew that I was saying yours was ad hominem and NOT Gavin's:? And btw, 90 dB, happy to entertain. You come off like a bully, to me, though. Not really trying to engage in real dialogue, just very quick to be verbally hurtful. But it's easy to understand. We have a President that makes that kind of bullying and belittling seem perfectly normal. I am trying to help folks figure out how to find common ground to talk one another. If this cracks you up, perhaps consider this is part of the problem? Some people don't REALLY want dialogue, but to vent there deep seeded anger.. Mike
