I thought you were joking when you did that. You should've pretended you were, it would've made you look wittier. I got exhausted trying to defend myself against these conservatives.

He wasn't joking, he spelled it that way multiple times. I didn't really mean to pick on him about it, I just thought it was funny in the context. I make more than my fair share of spelling mistakes on these forums. The fact he misspelled that doesn't make him any less intelligent in my eyes, we all make spelling mistakes sometimes. You certianly don't need to rub it in and make it worse. And I really don't see how lying about it wouldn't have made him seem wittier, just would have made him seem like he was obviously lying to cover up his mistake.

As far as trying to defend yourself against conservative? Why? Are we attacking you in a way you need defense? You are the one who started this thread in order to state that you thought the people on this site where smart, but that you must have been mistaken because there are so many conservative here. In other words you pretty much said, smart is not compatible with conservative.

Perhaps you should stop considering people of different political views than yourself as unintelligent.

If you decide to engage in political discussion with one of us idiot conservatives, you ought not need help to defend yourself with your superior liberal intellect.

The only way to really have political discussion is with an open mind. As I was trying to say in one of my other posts, I'd really like you (or somebody) to convince me to change my political view points (which I often do when I hear a good argument), I am open minded and willing to change, if I see a reason to (which as far as the liberal side goes, I rarely see arguments that standup beyond a single narrow point of view, Global Warming being a part of a classic example of this).
