Just because someone else holds to a position that is opposite to yours does not make them: venal, ignorant, easily fooled, pig-headed, misguided, a tree-hugger or in the pocket of developers, mentally deficient, out-to-lunch, not playing with a full deck, blind to the truth, easily swayed, unable to think for themselves, out of touch with reality, an unethical person, someone with a secret agenda, someone who has a vested interest, someone who doesn’t listen to reason, a person who was dropped on his/her head as a baby, a person whose views are not reasoned judgment but pure partisan party-line pap! Ha!
If you agree that people of good will can disagree, try to keep unconstructive rhetoric where it belongs, unsaid and unpublished.
