Feel sorry for Silverlock - it is hard to get a good grip on interaction where the other person distorts the points to the extent that occured here
Am wondering how long it will tak Silverlock to conclude that there is nothing one can learn other than coping with irritation & annoyance from interacting with BP on topics related to politics. The perceptions & thinking mips just aren't there for BP. Twisting & distorting what others say seems to be BPs standard tactic in difficult matters. That gets to be downright annoying after a short while.
Anyway, lets observe the next such match - perhaps we can create a score table. <grin>
