Roger, I appreciate your post.

I wouldn't have paid any attention to the rape allegations were it not for someone I dearly respect calling him a rapist. As I said to him, I realize that those on the left - at least several I know on Facebook and elsewhere - have said that all bets are off, that they are no longer playing by the rules, and that resistance to Trump will involve whatever they can do to drum up attention to what he's doing.

I strongly feel the opposite. Now is the time for truth, more than ever. We can seek for the truth in a rational manner, and be patient. The Net is crammed full of nonsense, websites that enjoy spreading confusion, and people who think it's all quite funny.

John Lennon: "All I want is the truth. Just give me some truth!"

Ad-homs are useless and counter-effective (at least for those of us who only reach a few people), and that famous Jewish carpenter warned against that as well. Yes, I know Lennon's song is full of ad-homs!
