"I've criticized people of left and right. Haven't seen it make a lick of difference, for the most part." Then why do you continue to do it? "But you have to realize that I ignore a huge list of posters, so I can't say anything to them, since I don't see them" The gentle readers have watched you time and time again resort to this ploy. They have also seen you comment relentlessly to one party involved in a long discussion with another where you make cocky assesments and judgments on matters which you claim to have heard only one side of the story on. HOW stupid is that? I mean, really...think about it. "So, while I don't approve of name calling for anyone, I'm not about to be net nanny for everyone" LOL! That is ludicrous. You have a reputation for name calling which tags you on SI! Deny it; you cannot! Thousands of posts prove it. "I'm not going to punish myself by reading sewage (right or left sewage, sewage of any kind, even non-politcal sewage), just so I can criticize it, to no effect." Why read what you are so capable of producing in buckets? You know, there is a fundamental cowardice exhibited by those who pretend to ignore all the "bad" people whom they disagree with while feeling obligated to point it out for attention on every other post! Do you think that anyone gives a damn who you are or are not too frightened to match wits or ideas with? Now look at the fundamental rage and hostility which simply OOZES out of your "sewage" rant? You were a more likable person when you used to express your cortical-limbic loops directly against people rather than from a peep-hole. I don't doubt there is a lot of good in you if you would just stop hiding and re-inforcing how helpless you are to control anything in real time and place. BTW, I have almost everyone on ignore. Most of them are losers and smell bad. You are pretty much the only person I post to here, X (except for Illmaren, of course). I cannnot read what the other people say so I never need to defend either my character or my ideas. In short, I am a coward with an emotional disorder. Well, why SHOULD I read sewage? People I ignore post only sewage. People I brown-nose to post only mineral water. It is important to condemn the person rather than the principle. Once you identify a sewage person (like so many are)...then you may easily identify all ideas from that person as sewage--even if that person is quoting Albert Wine Stein who said: "A couple of more drinks and I will still be a genius". Other than you, X, I pretty much ignore everybody. They are sewer people (except for that ineluctable Finn, Ilmaren!). I can't read much on this thread from anyone except for you, X (and 0f course Ilmaren). I just detest all the sewage (which I can't read)...THANK GOD!!
