You bring this up time and again, Tracy Coxx, rather than answering actual challenges to the political points you seek to make, but the fact remains that there are no PRIVATE discussions in threads on this site. It's really quite simple. If you post in a public thread, anyone can address what you have posted. Someone doing so is not, as you write, responding "for" others.

And time and time again you mischaracterize my statements so that you can argue a different point that has nothing to do with what's being said. I never said this is a private discussion, keep out or anything like that. I said you make it your personal mission to respond for every single person I try to engage in a discussion with. Does that mean you can't participate in the discussion too? No. But common courtesy says you would at least let the other person respond without jumping in with your two cents once in a while. But no. Almost EVERY SINGLE TIME. Doing it sometimes, I can see, but i'm literally talking above 95% over the past few years. I'm talking about etiquette, not privacy.

I do not respond for others, period. I speak for myself. You can keep making this claim until the cows come home, but it doesn't make it true.
