Reply #81: No, I'm dismissing hyperbole [View All]

Hysterical rhetoric, even when someone might have a point, helps nothing. It tends to make folks not want to listen to you if you're going to exaggerate your position, screaming that there won't be any more primaries.

Kind of like a mom who says if you don't behave, she's going to take all your toys and you'll never get another one ever again. Trying to get your child to behave = good. Saying something unrealistic to try and make your child behave = bad.

No, I'm not attacking the OP, just taking exception as to how he's expressing himself at the moment. If I was attacking him, I'd say he dresses funny or that his mom wore combat boots or something.
