This was your explanation, and it was precise, and proved a point very well, though not the one you intended it to: Message 17017055 This present one is a new construction. I don't blame you for massaging it vigorously. Irreducible facts: JLA silenced one participant in the middle of an argument but allowed, nay, virtually invited, others to continue to insult her personally, and insulted her himself, knowing she could no longer defend herself or her positions from being mischaracterized. An assertion was made as fact that was not fact and she could not deny it, a denial that JLA would have believed, and you believe now. Opinion: That is boorish and intellectually disreputable behavior.

Actually, you have been plucked to the last feather and she is tucking in your legs! Would you refer a skewer?! I think she is about to begin tucking in the pope's nose, LOL!! Anyone who needs to run around the mulberry bush as you have done over such a simple matter of common decency--well, you deserve to be skewered! To pretend that there is nothing of low, undeveloped, or sadistic quality in the character expressed by JLA is to draw attention to your own defects and evasions. Why don't you drop all that crap? You know that only bullies gang up and pile on; and you know it is cowardly to spit on people after you have "beat" them because the game was played unfairly. You also know that JLA characterises it all as a game...but you express chagrin and display effeminate resistance when his "game playing" is pointed out to be dishonorable, contrived, and cowardly. And how about you? Do you think that inviting people to discuss on a thread, and then removing their freedom of speech as soon as they best you in argument, is the mark of high character? Is this the kind of character which epitomises for you the fairness and decency which you would be proud to have your children emulate?? Then what in the Hell is the matter with you, Man??
