What's this?

That's fine if that's what you believe it was. That might be true, I've

said as much at least one other time in this thread. But it's not relevant to my point or the one you were making really. You made the comment about a "fractional few". You're basing that on nothing. The fact that you spout off random numbers at the end of your post shows that. You are welcome to believe what you want and think what you want. I'm not arguing that at all. But you're arguing that anyone who doesn't share your opinion is a "fractional few" and that's where I disagree. You're attempting to give your own opinion a boost in credibility by marginalizing the opposing viewpoint and that's what I'm arguing against.

Sure it is. It always has been. You believe what you choose to believe. -- PhotoHokieNC 12/15/2019 6:08PM

You've done a poll? Of course you haven't. There's one person here -- AbsolutVT03 12/15/2019 6:18PM

Poll? LOL. More social media control? Are you kidding? -- PhotoHokieNC 12/15/2019 6:24PM

Meh. You made a stupid post. Don’t try to back out now. ** -- CPRVHokie 12/15/2019 6:11PM
