Rethink on my answer, Cris. I wasn't sure if you were joking or not but on re-read I can see where one could assume that is who I meant.
My point was that Io said "shun her". When I said that last bit about demonizing I meant that I don't understand why some people have to make enemies out of someone for a differing opinion.
Hell, we are sharing opinions here. I don't attach what Io said in this thread *to* Io. They were here thoughts.. not every being of her fiber.
With Prok, when you don't agree you are an ass, rabid dog, fucktard, etc etc etc. There is no debate there. It is a lame ass excuse to be an asshole tied up in some BS about "pushing back" and brute force language (whatever the hell that is) is the only thing "those people" understand.
With normal and civilized people when you don't agree that does not have to make you an enemy in need of being struck down. Only those with flimsy arguments have to hide it all in insults and conspiracy.
So, what I meant was there is no shunning needed and I find that those who do shun someone just because of differences in opinion are not something I understand.
And still say that some are shunned just for being assholes, not because of what they believe about something.
Sorry if my first response up there left much to be desired. I have a lot of windows open and lots going on right now but later it occured to me how it could have been perceived.
