Dude, there's editing someone's post and then there's that. Seriously?  |
That's true ...to a point. The issue I was making an issue of was ...I forget 
Nah, it was the quote from the Australian about conservative women being the victim of online hate & abuse or whatever.
My view is that it is not merely confined to a left right dichotomy that the author you quoted was keen to suggest. |
Fair enough. It does tend depend on the argument and background though. In my observation the progressives or left or whatever you want to call them are more likely to resort to abuse to win an argument. No doubt that once you widen the scope from politics there is way to many abusive trolls on social media who get their kicks bullying people regardless of politics or gender.
I would have preferred it though if you could have made the point without chopping my post into something unrecognisable.

Maybe he likes getting paid and wants to reach a wider audience?
Nice and cozy and safe preaching to a congregation of 3 people and a dog who are already converted to your views, and it doesn't pay very well.
Less safe going mainstream, but greater reward in several senses if it comes off.
