Aw, come on, bearcub, take a pill. First you get me all buttered up and blushing over what appeared to be a compliment.FINALLY, someone can do something besides parrot and ridicule. now we're getting somewhere. Some of the doomers seem, at times, a little to willing to go there. -- out of five paragraphs of philosophy on social contracts and jump all over me for being judgmental. That sentence couldn't possibly have been milder. It was qualified three, count 'em, three times with "some" doomers, "at times," and "a little to(o)." I didn't say anything about you personally. And I thought the term "doomers" was p.c. on this thread. I haven't used it much before. First I talked about "pollys" and "true believers," but that was misinterpreted. A little earlier today I used the term "prepareds." Seems to me "doomers" is more colorful and a more balanced counterpoint to "pollys," but if you don't like it, just tell me what to use. The thread needs some kind of shortcut to identify the two spectrum ends.i doubt it. but then, maybe you'll reply and i'll find out, i judged you wrongly, and you really DO believe your judgement stuff. , I'm sorry, but I don't follow you.
