Larry, you want me to elaborate? Maybe you should discuss that with your fellow longs before insisting, as the reason for my presence on this thread I made clear, a few nights ago a mild and temporary annoyance at the pollution of the Echarters thread led me to comment. The sole reason for this post is your feeble flicker of a flame.
It's not a pleasant place to hang out, this thread, it was far better in the spring. There was absurdity then, but it had a Tinkerbelle sort of flavour to it, replaced now by one more reminiscent of Freddie Kruger. It is not likely to improve, imho. Given a chance to leave gracefully, I would gladly leave this little temple of the Sub-Atomic Gold flakes to fester and drain and biodegrade on its own, I do not in any way share EC's crusade, and there's a shortage of time as well.
So I just went back through a number of your posts, and could not find one, not a single one, to any Doubter of Dirts, that was without a personal attack. Not one, Larry. So that's your style, eh? Let me get this straight-- you oink repeatedly, you are up to your eyeballs in mud, and you are asking me to cast you pearls?
Don't hold your breath waiting.
EC has made all the basic points anyway. All you'd get from me is paraphrasing, and I suspect that if you didn't like his wording you probably wouldn't care for mine. Btw, he also just scooped me on a short lecture on the rules of civilized debate, especially concerning ad hominem attacks. Well, good on 'im, I'll be sleeping that much sooner.
Feel free to flame me, Larry. Properly goaded, I could be motivated to make the time to become a regular on this thread.
May all get what they deserve ................. marcos |
