Where did I blame the political threads solely on the left or the right?

When you said that Gould, Harry, and jps
had screwed up the newsgroup? When you said that liberals brought "filth and
disrespect" to this public forum?


I blamed you for throwing stones in your glass house.

Jim, I'll proudly compare my ratio of personal attacks and insults vs. civil
discussion with your own, any day.

Why do you try to make this personal all the time? It isn't. You're nothing in
my life- a (constantly changing, often bogus) name on a screen. I should be
nothing in yours. Discussions should center on ideas, not the imagined personal
defects of people we don't know and will never meet.
IMO.

And I was wrong?

You have been posting here far longer than me. Anyone can see your noise to signal
ratio is quite high. At least I have been honest about it. Your approach has
been.."Who, me?"

Regardless, you were the one claiming innocence in this whole thing when it was likely
you and Harry that brought it on (the demise of the NG).

I did not. You did.

Glass house = no stones thrown.

Got it?

Sorry, that's a different question. You asked, "When did I blame the OT posts
solely on the left or the right?" When I provide a factual answer, switching
the question is a weak tactic.

Likely? What happened to certainly?
But if you think something is screwed up, just look for the closest liberal and
point fingers, right?

I don't claim "innocence." I claim, with justification, to refrain from cheap
shot name calling moreso than most.

No, not true. You are the party posting comments in the newsgroup specifically
evaluating, by name, your impressions of other parties' behavior. You are the
individual who makes indirect third party comments about "old Chuck this, and
old Chuck that...." in other threads.

My failure to respond in kind doesn't mean that I don't hold an opinion of you,
just that it isn't important when discussing the subjects at hand.

Trot out the best ideas you've got. But we'll all be better off if you leave
the flames and insults at home. True, there are others here who flame
repeatedly. You have expressed your disdain for that behavior.
Why then, would you choose to emulate it?

Who knows, "with enough work, you just might come around." :-)
