There's something about you that I like (besides your nym being one of my
favorite characters). You seem to be able to speak your mind largely
without
name calling and ad hominem attacks. It's nice to discuss and debate ideas
without character assassination.


Thank you but only this past week I have slung insult to a lady that
were about as foul and disgusting as I have ever said. So much that it
embarrassed me then and now really and caused me to lose sleep, I'm being
good and paying penance right now. :0)

Oh and reread my quotes above, I essentially called the man a flake for
no other reason then jumping into a discussing and expressing his feelings.
I'm sure he has gotten burned in a flame war or holds grudges for whatever
reason. Coming from someone who is at the bottom of his life and quite
possibly not long due for this world, I can smell or at least I think I can
spot fear. The guy is scared about something and the fear expresses it self
in the form of anger, condemnation and loathing.

Although it wasn't "in your face" and I didn't use any of those bad
words I like so well, I did drop right down to his level and insulted a
stranger, which is something I would never do in public, unless they did
sort of bust in on my party and start being rude to me or my guest. Hey wait
a minute, didn't even our Lord Jesus have righteous anger? When he trashed
the temple and whooped ass on all those money lenders.

Maybe this guy should have been blasted for trying to rain on all our
parades, I'll have to think on this.

Sorry for rambling, it's late.

PS. While there are still all the silliness, if you what some honest
discussion with some very bright folks, check out the philosophy n/gs you
have some real serious PhD slinging bad motor scooters hanging around there.
While talking about life the universe and everything may not be your bag,
they do occasionally use there n/gs for what I could only call the best and
highest use that these n/g could ever be used for in a strictly educational
rational manner. Most of them even have the good taste to simple ignore
anyone who stumbles in and is a ****** or troll and does all those nasty
debating tactics you mentioned. Great men and women for the most part..Sorry
I'm rambling again.

PSS. Brenda and I love that name because I've loved a few Brenda's in my
time. I'm very much the sort of man you're mother warned you about and told
you to stay away from, you virtue or at least your sanity are at risk if you
get to within shouting distance of me. Just a heads up. :0)
