You appeared that you had accepted it. You let it stand, and you have not tried to refute it... That's not true unless you only count direct replies to you. I don't think saying "I have dealt with this before and don't feel like repeating myself" amounts to acceptance. In fact even if I had not dealt with it before a post containing that sentence would not amount to acceptance. "How many of those are relatively new words" A lot of them!! Nice out of context quote. The full quote is - "How many of those are relatively new words that recently have been used a lot on this thread and are intentionally imprecise so as to be a way to attack people by implying things about them that are not or at least may not be true?" "Of course. Any one who reads any of your arguments is going to be so dazzled by your brilliance that they will be unable to argue their points any more... And since we all know that you are always right about everything there is no need for further discussion one you have had your say." I am not surprised to encounter this childish outburst of invective and personal insult from you, Tim! It was entirely appropriate as a response to your statement - "If you have already read this then I will consider that you accept my point, and that the matter is closed. Thanks for listening." Your propensity for personal attack has surfaced in the past from behind your disguise That's a joke right? 1 - This is a "boxing ring". 2 - Personal attacks from me are rare, far less common then similar attacks from you. When I do make attacks they are short and usually mild, and related to the post I am replying to. But if you desire to think that my normal manner of posting is just a facade, I won't make any more effort to convince you otherwise. Are you angry because you don't like the proposition that homosexuals are persons, Tim? I'm not angry, and I wasn't when I made that post. Annoyed perhaps but not angry. I also fully accept homosexuals as persons and can't think of any post here where I even vaguely hinted otherwise. Nobody on this planet should need to be born with the default status of being lesser than others such that they require to be "tolerated"...should they, Tim? People are not born with a "better" colour or a "better" gender, or a "better" sexual orientation...are they, Tim? Please link to a post here where I talked about people having a better colour or sex or sexual orientation. Also why do you have a problem with tolerance? Am I required to actually run around shouting for joy about other people's sexual practices? I consider it enough that I let them do what they want and they let me do what I want as long as everything involves consenting adults and no one gets hurt. Perhaps you have a different opinion. Sexual orientation is not a mental illness; it is not a disease. Please link to a post where I said it was. Tim
