[Vision2020] crossing the line

Indeed, Keely. Exactly why I "bozo" filtered DJA. I have also now filtered Mr. Ed, ToeKnee, and 
Dick. I'm not as able as you and Chas to attempt discourse with these folks. It just raises my 
blood pressure and fuels their vitriolic responses.

I learned some time ago that reality can't penetrate the preconceptions of some people, nor 
can information be evaluated rationally through anger, fear, and hate. It's even worse when 
wrapped in a cloud of quasi-religious rhetoric.

While most folks on V2020 can discuss expressed opinions (albeit angrily at times), and often 
change their minds when given facts, a few are just unable to get past their own pile of BS long 
enough to even recognize their own blind spots. DJA, Dick, ToeKnee, and Mr. Ed are among 
those few. I often disagree with others, but find their writing at least interesting and sometimes 
amusing. These four, however, are simply dreary, nasty, and repulsive. 

Bozo filters are the best thing invented since call screening!
