is undiplomatic & every bit as rude & hateful as the behavior you attribute to right wingers. You've appointed yourself as right & others as wrong, and choose to be condescending to those in disagreement with you. It would be much more diplomatic to use phrases like "in my opinion" which indicates that something is your *opinion* & not a fact from on high or "I disagree." There's a big difference in "I disagree" vs. "You're wrong." My problem with the Pub as flame room is not so much the political discussion as the nastiness & lack of diplomacy that generally comes with the political discussion.
