[QUOTE="Yitzchak, post: 1942340, member: 8411"] I see some really cogent arguements in some of these threads. I am grateful for them. However, I still am of the strong opinion that name calling is wrong. It is ironic to me that the discrediting of someone's views is based on labels rather than weighing their arguements based on merit. Ironic considering the definition of discrimination given in this thread contains the concept of merit versus catagorizing rights based on what group a person is a part of. I am still hoping for the day when the focus will be upon the merits or lack thereof of a person's posts and not upon which group (fill in whatever label) they belong to. I do enjoy learning from the posts in these threads and hope that those posts which resort to name calling will not spoil it for the rest of us who want honest discussion. It reminds me of The Mcarthy type "witchhunts" targeted at communists in the 50's. Once you have the label, your post is now suspect. I cannot honestly say that I am tired of being called a homophope since no one has presumed to level that charge at me personally. But it bothers me when that name is leveled at others whose views I sometimes agree with. [/QUOTE]
