    Bystander

    ...would, then, fall into the category of I Just Don't Want To Hear It. I honestly don't have any reasonable way to respond to that.

    -- bystander

    No, that's not it. I'm not going to bother explaining anymore about it beyond what I already explained. I saw the remark as juvenile, counterproductive and not anymore or less childish than what the guy yelled out at Palin's Nazi rally. Not at all useful. Nothing to do with "don't want to hear it" I'm aware of the situation. Don't see what is difficult to understand about that. Doesn't matter if anyone agrees or disagrees but it would be nice not to be misrepresented.

    Over.
