Your adversaries will never enjoy a greater victory than causing you
to alter your life to become one of them. Disagreement over politics?
Doesn't matter, it's a minor detail compared to how you choose to
present yourself.

On the most important scale of all, there's not a darn bit of
difference between the most extreme left wing name caller and the most
extreme right wing name caller ever to darken the electronic portals
of the internet.......their politics may be different, but their
personalities are nearly one and the same.

Give yourself a break, jps. You deserve better for yourself than to
descend to the same depths as the worst of your aversaries. If they
drag you down to their level, they win. Examine the life of Ghandi-
you don't "turn the other cheek" for your adversary's benefit, you do
so to take command of the situation and define the terms for future
discourse.
Or think of judo- allow your opponent's own weighty momentum to put
him in a position of unbalance and vulnerability when it doesn't
encounter the resistance it depends upon for maximum effect.


I've learned the only way to impress a neanderthal is to bash them over
the head. They don't get subtle.

You're not smart enough to speak for yourself, let alone others.

You are brain-dead if you think you have gotten thru to anyone. You are
making the most ignorant Neanderthal look intelligent if you think you
have impressed anyone, including those who agree with your political ideals.

Is that how you measure success, how you've impressed? Is that because
you have such a loathsome self-image that you cannot risk being
rejected?

I don't suffer from that disability. I put it out there, 'cause that's
what I think and I need to say it. Usenet is the closest thing I've got
to a mountaintop and rec.boats isn't the only place from which I shout.

If anyone chooses to alter their thinking based on something I say,
that's their problem. Neither am I set on changing anyone's mind, just
speaking my piece.

I've noticed you spending a lot of time critiquing other people's
habits. What sort of complex is that do you suppose? Have you sought
professional help?
