Condor is a "he," not a "she," though since "he" comes supplied with a terrific sense of humor, "he" will appreciate whatever evidence leads you to think "she."

Whether JC loses respect for Condor is not the issue, Mike. It's the public posting of ad hominem attacks. If he wishes to post a PM to you about Condor, he should do so. If he wishes to argue that the parallels don't work, he should so so.

The use of offensive moral metaphors from the past has been an earmark of some of the discussions on this thread: everything is Hitler, Chamberlain, Stalin, you name it. So long as those were used as metaphors without folk attacking the morals of people who use them, seems to me that's an argument. And we've done a great deal of that.

So Condor's use of that fits within a well established thread tradition.

JC was right to say that. mike


100% Incorrect!

It is NOT OK to publicly judge your fellow posters. Period.

Keep your personal assessments to yourself or post them elsewhere -- they serve no useful function being aired here.

No one here is allow to pretend to have a corner on the truth.
