you can present all the opinions you want, but when you state them as facts, people can be expected to ask for a link ;-)

Except you didn't ask her for a link - you asked her to leave and take it to dailykos.

you are the media you consume.

Well, wait, Helen's opinionated about it, but are you suggesting that's not what happened?

?

and it isn't the opinion I object to, it's the statements such as "well, the tramed has decided that he was right after all" or some such with no back-up link, when I tried so hard to stay neutral in my comment.

I really don't appreciate having my comment twisted around to start a controversy because I wanted to avoid a controversy ;-)

I may sound harsh but I would not want for this place to become what Daily Kos has,  a place one candidate's supporters overwhelm another's by sheer number of biased comments.

A lot of people I know avoid DKos because it's just become unpleasant.

That's up to us.

ET will continue to be ET as long as we - everybody, not just the FP'ers - maintain standards.  As I've said before, and will continue to say: posting on ET is a Privilege, not a Right.  

h'mmmm, how to say this?

The Open Threads are used for a more casual style of communication, social chit-chat, and bantering back-and-forth.  While not inappropriate to ask for a link or supporting evidence, neither is it 'The Thing.'

btw, I didn't use "leave" in that sense at all

I said to leave the Obama biased statements at DKos

actually, I didn't mention the word "leave" in that sense at all

that's your interpretation of it

"Leave it at daily kos" means something else altogether but you choose to interpret it in the worst possible way

okay then.

Obama was so stupid to believe that he could speak "truth to power" by calling his would-be supporters "bitter" and turning to things like guns, religion and hate.

He should have been smarter and this shows his lack of experience in another field - electioneering.
