And as we all know, many in the DFL are more
interested in keeping people out than keeping them
in.
No,
Russell, I don't know any such thing!
In fact, I would strongly disagree with this and would argue against it
(if you had included any arguments for it, instead of just asserting it
and claiming it as fact).
Many years
ago, in high school debates, I was told about this tactic -- rather than
argue a proposition, just state it as a "known fact", without
any supporting evidence. (There was a specific name for this, but
I've long since forgotten it). The coach also taught us to
rejoice when an opponent stooped to this kind of fraudulent tactic -- it
meant that their argument was very weak, they knew they were losing, and
so they would try this kind of trickery.
And even
back in high school, we knew better than to put this kind of libelous
statement in writing and publish it to hundreds of people!
