Richnorth,
You have been a good on-topic contributor to this GPM thread, and in my opinion your point of view(s) have had foundations strong enough to stand up to the other side(s)s attacks in the same manner that your attacks onto the other side(s) have been absorbed.
Might someone like E.C. or Graystone clue us in to how many situations in how many thousands of years have placed two groups of human beings in direct conflict where use of deadly force was used on each side to obtain a resolution that would be labeled temporary or injust by the side overpowered, while the side that has the upper hand will conduct itself to keep its strength while etc etc etc.
But please just swallow hard and accept my advice to you that these replies you give to the above person result not to defend your position or weaken his, but it has you doing with precision an activity by you that reduces your advances while weaking your postion such that you may be ambushed.
"... were out of the country the last ten days."
Check out his Si profile to see if he did any postings on Si for these 10 days, and if not then its the same time duration as an Si suspension. If you did not reply with personal attacks to match his towards you then you had the opportunity to collect his posts of today to submit to the Si Court/Jail, but since you did match his personal attacks you both can be reported, and if no one does report such and he continues his pesonal attacks towards you, then please accept my above advice to reply without personal attacks towards him such that you can put him into Si Jail, and yes for sure the folks at Si Administration really don't have any extra time to spend on matters like this since they already have more computer web site work to do than hours in the day and wish not to continuously spend time with repeat offenders, with termination or a very long suspension like 10 weeks or months for life time members being an option.
So please view your returned personal attacks as what he wants you to do, and don't, and collect his and report him. This way you can continue with the many others here to supply off topic foundations on why their side versus the other side is more just.
Its a win/win for you and this thread, in my opinion.
