You are really loosing it aren't you? How many times does it have to be explained to you? Let me try and break this down very simple:
This thread was an invitation to the members of this board (identifiable class) to engage in a debate with the debate having certain parameters.
You, however, broke your first rule in the sentence before this by insulting the class you wish to debate, e.g., members of this board.This thread is to be free from adhoms, free from partisan pissing matches and focused on debate about the Iraq war as defined by Jimmy's quoted post above.
Your supposition that your statement was general, e.g., not to an identifiable class is wrong, because you made the statement "specifically" not "generally" to the members of this board.Many Rightwingbots on this board have made a lotta noise about debate tho they offer very little of it.
Thus, your broke your own rules and why you had to be called out on it before any rational debate could begin on Iraq. If you can't even keep your own rules, then the debate is without the parameters and thus all is open and fair game.
I want to debate you idiots on this board, but I don't want any name calling in this debate.
