176. I understand
Your perspective and frustration. God knows I understand. In fact, If I was less concerned for the left movement, I would tell you just how much a few people have acted in a way that I find to be incredibly unethical. How they have not only insulted me, but stolen from me, spread crap about me, and so forth. So I understand Will, I do.

With respect, however, I cannot agree on the generalization of using one word describing many to describe the few. You have every right to hate people who are instinctively in attack mode with no sense of loyalty or respect. You have every right to hate people who distill all of your work to one opinion they do not agree with and use that to dismember you. People like the ones I have described - are the same intolerant and hate driven mob as the right wing, neither of these groups are liberal or conservative, they are hateful, narrow and self-serving. But, I cannot agree with your use of the word liberal to describe the few who in no way do or should represent liberals.

So I will I respect and understand your sentiment, I cannot (but still with respect) agree in your approach with regard to this matter.

Always a friend, LA
