How to win

Clint in comments at Snow Flakes In Hell regarding the blog’s author Sebastian:

After reading the various cross-links, I felt I should comment as a more or less passive observer of the 2nd Amendment battles. I was hoping to come up with a profound statement to summarize the conflict Sebastian has brought to the spotlight of examination. My first thought is: the monkey’s flinging pooh.

However, I would encourage you, Sebastian, to continue the real “reasoned discourse” to which you contribute. I appreciate your efforts to keep us unified as a true activists’ “community.” Likewise, I praise your efforts to remain unconfrontational when addressing the gun grabbers. You are a great example of the difference between “assertive” and “aggressive.” Your civility speaks volumes about your character. You even refer to your fellow gun owners as “family.” Your approach is spot on. I commend you and am proud to have you as one of our represenatives.

Your summary of the real fight being to win over “Suzie Soccer Mom” is indeed where the real battle lies. Suzie likely doesn’t dig it when the monkey flings pooh. Contrawise, civility and proper demeanor shows Suzie who the true champion is.

In other news, maybe I should stop calling people idiots? It would be hard as there are so many out there.
