Safe and sound at my appertment in Madrid. Will be leaving later this afternoon for
Denia
. As soon as I get there, I'll be hitting the beach and drinking a beer.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Cheers,

Why can't people just be nice to each other?

In fairness, Magician said upfront - if she didn't want to answer the question, all she had to do was say she didn't want to, and he'd back off. It took her 2-3 posts to do it, but as soon as she did, he was done.

Yeah, I read everything over, and I agree with Squish. I've enjoyed reading the last couple of pages of that debate though.
Cheers,

Sounds fun, enjoy it. Also anything above 75 is great beach weather as long as there is no wind.
Maximum temperatures here at the moment are around the 74 mark, with overnight minimums of around 50. I'd imagine most of the day we'd probably sit at around 68.

I don't think that any participant has behaved remotely inappropriately (I'm not intending to criticise
any
individual) but I don't think it's been valuable discussion (particularly on the specific topic of the thread). I don't think Jubi's far off with the "gotcha" idea (this goes both ways but these questions are often posed to find the point at which someone's resolve breaks down) but even that aside it comes down to questioning how important the issue is on a non-existent scale where "rights" are on one end and "complete economic collapse" is on the other (in this example).
I don't see the value in discussing an important topic in these terms. Political decisions are complex (or should be - some people will vote for a nice smile I guess) and don't make good discussion points for these sorts of debates. "Would you vote for something in a referendum?" is fair because it's basically a simple question of support but this Candidate A or B stuff is difficult territory and we've seen that basically no one is happy with the question itself.
I think that in a forum discussion we can afford to discuss what we feel is right and wrong in a vacuum that is unaffected by practicalities. This is not to say that the practicalities don't make for interesting discussion in themselves but there seems to be enough practical difficulties already that we can perhaps avoid inventing hypotheticals to muddy the waters.
That's my opinion for what it's worth.

Isn't that the whole point of said hypotheticals though? The idea that someone makes an extreme comment (e.g. wouldn't ever vote for X under any circumstance) and then gets called up on it?
Anyway, I'll leave it there. Enough green this early on a page!
