Well, if you want to talk about unethical arguing, one way of doing that would be arguing about parts of someone's posts that they edit out before the post is finished. I don't even remember at this point what I was referring to when I said "innumerable posts", but the reason I edited it out is simply because one of your arguing tactics when you can't discuss the facts is to demand that people do weeks of research through the archives of SI, and I don't have the time to do that.

You are bought and paid for by the U.S. military. I support your lifestyle with my income taxes. If you really believe that income taxes should be abolished, and the social services safety net should be abolished as well, it would be very much more ethical to go live in a way which is in congruence with your strongly held belief system, or at least to refuse the commissary privileges and the early retirement with the nice pension, on principle. Certainly, the contradiction between your beliefs and your lifestyle is striking, and if you choose to express those beliefs in this public forum I do believe it is logical to discuss the dichotomy.
