Posts like this simply indulge the anger of the person who writes them. But
they don't do anything to build national unity, or to build a local
consensus, or even to further the debate. Posts like this revolve around
insults. "Liberal sicko" is such an extreme thing to say in a public forum
that it is the only thing I can really notice in this email. The poster
fails to convince me of his point, simply because his use of insults is so
jarring that everything else he says gets ignored. There is nothing
constructive in these kinds of posts.
