>> It is possible to rebuke and condemn a person's ideas without calling that person an a##hole.

Which is worse? If you are of a sensitive nature, you may not like it here. Look what it's done to Chris. He's like an abused dog. Won't look anybody in the eye, etc.

And I don't tell others what style to use. Those who post Lies and slander, smear mongering are not at all interested in any rational debate. They are slinging mud bacause they are vulgar anuses. Stating a vulgar anus is a vulgar anus is not emotion, it's the cold hard facts. There are several vulgar anus who post here on a regular basis.

For those I call stupid, if you think you see som merit in something they post feel free to explain to me why it is not flat out stupid. If you feel some vulgar anus Lies and slander, smear mongering have some merit, feel free to explain the socially redeeming value of what was said.

Could you explain where I have claimed moral superiority. I proffered an action or response justification to counter your cheeky justification. You passed along your rational to critisize anothers style and I passed along to you another perspective.

Are you saying that Lies and slander, smear mongering and habitual ignorant insults never deserves rebuke and condemnation? I proffer that in certain cases rebuke and condemnation are the only reasonable and positive response. And they are not by my definition a personal attack.

What am I to conclude when you say "Please spare me your claims of moral superiority." Again, what claims....

I have not condemned your style, I have commented on your analysis of anothers style.

LOL!

Let's see you demonstrate your superiority by upbraiding Duray and TP and that crowd the next time they post some of their defamatory nonsense.

Watson is dead on. Libel and the crap that passes for logic or thought by those who get the rough stuff doesn't deserve refutation but instead, ridicule, insult and condemnation.
