Quote by: Osborn F Enready I was trying to explain to a new poster in this forum, why he didn't understand the motivation for this thread, from what was posted. Does it bother you that aafter 4 pages, the thread has no coherant message to a new, non-biased interpreter? I was trying to shed some light on why, and explain there is backstory to the motivation for this thread........am I wrong on that?

Why yes, as a matter of fact, you are mistaken. My motivation for writing the letter that opened this thread was William Arkin's libelous transgression in referring to our troops as mercenaries.

Is it really always about you in your world?

Dilli, you started most of the derogatory accusations, by mislabeling me as a leftist, several times, after telling you I have nothing to do with what is "considered" left in this nation anymore. I corrected you, and you continued, I became derogatory in return, you continued, therefore I assumed it was your INTENT to be derogatory. Silly me.....

Two things here....instead of expecting me to agree with your recollection of events, and expecting those not familiar with them to accept your version, why not just link to the post where I, "started most of the derogatory accusations", and let the proof speak for itself?

Second, as I have told others who make quacking sounds and then complain of my recognizing their duck-like position, It is the quacking itself that points to your indesputable duckedness, rather than the mere instance of my taking notice of them, n'est pas?

I am perfectly fine with agreeing to disagree, and while I chuckle, I can't help but notice this was a war waged by exuberance on both sides. You want to call names, but pretend they aren't meant as derogatory. Then you become mad when the same tone, and names are used against you?? Sounds like a hypocrite.

Nooooo, sounds like another unsupported charge. Can't find the "quote" button yet?

Well, news to Dilli, I was here to debate, not to make friends and have group hugs.

Come now, it's obvious you've succumbed to the pressure of your lefty peers........whose opinion do you think more opposes the concensus here, yours or mine? You are just pandering to a cheering audience, like a Volconvo Dixie Chick -- while I valiantly seek the combat of windmills, jousting with a veritable plethora of consonant verbiage and crass insubordination.

Thats because of your subjective views of what is meaningful, which aren't the same as mine.

My views are more than subjective, mon ami; they are also remarkably effective when put into practice, remarkably accurate compared to others, and remarkably remarkable in their ability to draw fire from ideologues of any stripe.


As you were
