Can they not defend themselves on here? I understand if someone isn't mentally able to take care of themselves (cough cough me), but I really don't think many (if any) of these people are weak minded at all, I think the opposite for almost everyone here. That's what makes the debates fun. Nobody (that really wants to debate) wants to do it with feeble minded people. And for the record, I think Patrick is one of the members that is more than able to defend himself. Sure he can be rude, we all can be. We're adult males defending what we believe to be right. We have passion about our beliefs. Even you man. I'm sure that somewhere in that adolescent head, you have some feeble thought that you think is important.... Not that we care.... (Joking on that last part!)
Edit to add: There is more irony here that I hope someone recognizes, or it's not fun anymore.

Personally, I feel like I’m standing with some of these users, not for them, if that makes sense. It’s not some virtuous goal, mind you, I’m just contributing to the topic at hand at a time that feels relevant. I’m also a contrarian and basically argue all the time. I love it and won’t try to hide it, lol. This is part of that love as well, if I’m being truly honest. I do hope I am mostly respectful nowadays—I’ve certainly been an ******* on here plenty in years past.
This isn’t about arguing though, or even passionate beliefs. Reread some of his comments, they aren’t fun-natured or winking to the crowd. The spirit is different.
I think the conversation has run it’s course for me, but it was worth sharing.
