Absolutely nowhere in your post did you mention once that you were merely trying to "explain" a viewpoint, and not that it was your viewpoint in the discussion.

Absolutely nowhere in your post did you mention once that you were merely trying to "explain" a viewpoint, and not that it was your viewpoint in the discussion.
And I'm sure you've demonstrated considerable emotional maturity disparaging consumer and employee rights, while complaining about comments on the internet.
- philwelch 8y agoMy viewpoint in the discussion is that mandatory arbitration is an attempt to work around an expensive and overtaxed court system. Conservatives would probably prefer that companies have fewer legal liabilities in the first place, and liberals would probably prefer that most of the burden of protecting consumers and employees be handled by more explicit and comprehensive regulations up front so that people didn’t have to resort to litigation. Since we live in a democracy, we ended up with a compromise that leaves everyone unhappy. Since it’s obvious why liberals are unhappy, the only piece I needed to add was an explanation of why conservatives are unhappy with this compromise. I shouldn’t have to restate the entire context of a threaded conversation every single time I respond to it, but apparently I do or otherwise people are going to think I’m some type of conservative and insult me over it. I’m not a conservative, but I also don’t think insulting people over political disagreements is acceptable in the first place.
