Zonder- frankly it is difficult for me to respond to someone who defends murder. If the Israelis used the same justification for killings civilians that you gave for the killing of Kurdish civilians when the Palestinians revolted, you and I would both condemn it. Let alone the massacre of innocent Kurds, there is the mass murder of the majority Shiites to defend, and any polical opposition. You either defend this or trivialize it. Once you wrote that the US's policy was to invade anyone we disagree with, it was clear that your were more interested in stupid provocation than reason.

You have repeatedly done this, and it doesn't speak well of you. I watched you on the, I think, thermodynamic thread get into an argument with a physicist about movement without energy, and he became so exasperated with your intransigence that he called you a moron. Thermodynamics hardly arouses personal passion but stupid provocation predictably does.

I am reluctant to respond personally, despite your personal and insulting attacks. However, it seems you are more interested in generating heat than light. I have tried to avoid this and respond to your arguments. Don't you see the differences between thames style and yours? I hope my style is closer to thames than yours. I did respond personally when you made the stupid and false provocative statement about Jews being anti-gentile.

I know you need attention, but try to get it in an intelligent and not stupidly provocatively manner. As Dame Edna says, "I say this in the friendliest possible way."
