Fine, attack an idea. If I post something that is ****, attack that post also. I don't give a rat's
butt. If it's ****, and I posted it, then I deserve the attack.



I might attack an idea you posted, but I'm not going to engage in
calling you names because you posted it.

Did I call you a name? If so I apologize for name-calling. On the other hand, if I called something
you wrote '****', then that's an appropriate comment.




You seem to be admitting defeat, and stating you cannot control
your temper and engage in adult-level conversation without engaging in
personal insults.

Seem? Are you pretending to be your wife now, with a touch of psychoanalysis?


It's called being polite.

I suppose your demeaning comments were delivered in a very polite way.


As for *your* country...it is *my* country, too, and I would like my
country to do a better job of what most people would find important.

Then treat your country with some respect. It does a hell of a lot better than 90% of the other
countries in the world. Don't denigrate the entire country based on a one-sided view of a problem.

There are what, 200 or so countries in the world? So, 20 of them do a
better job in terms of what most people find important? Actually, I
suspect the number of countries doing better might be higher in some
categories that are really important. Perhaps if we cut back drastically
on military spending, we can address some other really important issues.

Fine. Argue that point. Don't denigrate the country because some lady bitched to the news,
especially when you've heard only one side of the story.

Oh, and I shall continue to not engage in personally insulting other
posters here, and simply observe the hypocrisy of "the right."

Good. That's suitable. Remember, when you proudly announce the members of your 'bozo bin' along with
the 'reasons' for entry thereto, you're insulting those folks also.


The inmates of my bozo bin aren't there because of their politics,
they're in there because they can't behave reasonably here and cannot
post without insulting others.

We each have our definition of reasonable behavior. You find my calling your comment '****' to be
unreasonable. I find it very appropriate. Your accusations are, in fact, personal insults. You could
easily filter the individuals whose comments offend you *without* the announcements and personal
insults. True or false?

Is there some reason you continuously 'inform' us of whom you've filtered and your rationale for
doing so? Do you believe someone here gives a ****?
