Once again, you are wrong. A lunatic like Gohmert would have been a lot

Have you ever, once, thought about what would be good for the country?

You should try it.



1. Yes.

2. I have.

You and several of your buds seem determined to set a negative tone here
and to see if you can "bait." Have fun with that.


Well, with all due respect it would be nice to hear from you why you
acted like you did for so many years, and why now all the change all of
a sudden?


I'll be glad to at least partially respond.

I mentioned a couple of times here my college minor was sociology,
which, briefly, can involve the study of group behavior. I'm still a
student of sociology.

Over the years, *I* have been accused of being responsible for the
"snarliness" in this newsgroup. I thought the reality was that there
were many posters here who acted snarly.

So, as part of an experiment, I decided to stop making snarly posts
about other posters here. I implemented that decision what, three weeks
to a month ago? I forgot.

Another part of the experiment was to see if I could predict which
posters here would remain snarly in the absence of snarliness from me. I
predicted five or six would continue to make snarly remarks about other
posters. So far, my prediction has come true.

I've stated many times that posters here are solely responsible for what
they post and that they cannot blame others for their behavior. That was
my hypothesis. That the snarliness here continues in the absence of such
behavior from me seems to prove my hypothesis was correct.


And I'll bet your buddies will eat that right up!

Talk about cunning linguists!

Why? You know how excitable Harry is.
