why do you support bush?

Tell me about it.

Two things: You gotta have a sense of humor when it comes to forum posting, because you can't see someone smile as they're typing the way you can in a face-to-face conversation.

 

And even if they're not smiling, you can't take things personally. No one should be making personal attacks on this forum, they're usually just attacking your ideas or comments. Your ideas should be strong enough to survive critical inspection. If you know they're not, then you shouldn't post them. If you consider your ideas sacred, don't let this crowd know because nothing is sacred in science. Expect criticism, expect sarcasm and especially expect the Spanish Inquisition.

 

So you gotta have those two things, a thicker skin, a sense of humor, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.

 

Three, three things.
