Porc,

>>If you really wanted to, you would. But, you insist on having the last word, in a way that
is so disrespectful that no one could fail to respond.<<

The above is the exact reason I respond. YOU say I am disrespectful and want the last word. I say I want MY words and views to be CLEAR. So if a post of yours that uses my words is not clear (unintentionally) I feel I must clarify. I am dragged into discussing things like AS, Hussman etc.. That is why I get so frustrated with you.

>>Imnsho, no one in the history of the Internet has been more
fair in quoting prior posts, line by line, than I have in your case. You're not being
mischaracterized. You're being exposed. The two are different.<<

I agree about your fairness. But again this is what I am talking about. I do not think you are trying to be unfair. I never said that. YOU SAID THAT and are ATTRIBUTING IT TO MY THOUGHTS . I think you are trying to make your own points on an issue. That's cool. But if you use my words and they are an incomplete explanation of my feelings on the subject either because they weren't expressed clearly to begin with or because the single sentence is not a complete thought, I like to clarify. That can drag me into conversations I do not want to have. Like having to tell you I think you are very fair, but sometimes misunderstand what I am saying.

I am being exposed as a person who occasionally finds articles of interest that express views that I think are worthy of reading but not worthy of a lot of my time discussing. Certainly, most of them are similar to my own. That I post them does not mean I want to defend the authors or discuss them.

I am not competing with you or trying to make points. I am offering my insights to GADR etc.. for free because it's fun and I like to help people. That does not mean I have the time to talk about everything you might want to. It does mean that I want my own thoughts to be clear.

You can attack Hussman, AS, or anyone else you want. I don't care at all. If I feel I have something to contribute and I want to I will. That does not mean I want to have a 20 post conversation clarfying my views because you are using my words in ways that are not a true reflection of me feelings (unintentionally).

Don't take my responses personal. I just want people to know what I think on the issues. I do not want them to know what YOU think my views on the issues are.

I won't post anything here anymore that I don't want to discuss. The last few days has done little for GADR readership, wasted both our time and unfortunately verified that you and I can't have an ongoing dialogue.
