: One vote for fool, for the following reasons:: 1) Kevin suggests that we talk to our fellow citizens about our concerns, and not to "whine" about it on this board. But these people ARE our fellow citizens. And this is WHY this board is here. Kevin, why are YOU here?
: 2) Kevin resists legislating away corporate transgressions, saying we should "vote with our dollars, and not buy the products", then when Claire says the same thing about not buying the products, he attacks her.
: 3) He compares Samuel Day Fassbinder to Hitler and Stalin, although to my knowledge, Sam hasn't rounded up certain citizens for killing, and nothing I have read indicates that he might in the future.
: 4) He is inconsistent with every argument. Read for yourself on this board, and vote (one vote per person, not per dollar, sorry Kevin)!
Bearing in mind what the McSpotlight people were going on about (ie this is becoming an issue of personal opinion and abuse) this seems to be flying close to the wind in that is this really discussing, debating any issues. Perhaps KEVIN is representing a particular viewpoint and so it is his stance being assessed here but it is not fair that it is KEVIN that is being assessed.
It is too easy too fall into personal attacks - also it is too counterproductive in that it engenders exclusion from debate AND as a result will mean KEVIN will become even further entrenched in his way of thinking rather than open to an alternative as all 'this' becomes merely a tennis match of attacks and rebuttals.
