This is intricate stuff. To have no concept of the inner workings or deleterious effects of this sort of deal-making does not excuse ignorance. It works the opposite. Coming to the defence of somebody who is actively trying to undermine the vast majority of citizens because: 'Jets' is ignorant and harmful to the broader discussion. It's the reason things have been able to happen like they do.
This isn't elementary school. Not all opinions are equal or even valid.

Exactly. I disagree constructively with just about everyone here sometimes, and some people are better at that than others but just about everyone on this board is capable of carrying on an argument. And nobody could accuse the board members of conducting a circlejerk. But Unknown has never participated in an argument without resorting to personal attacks. That, I cannot respect.
