Here is a list of some things cnydrwllr has shot at me in the last couple of weeks.
Contempt or pity, what do you think?:


I pity you for being held in such contempt.

I didn't want to highlight the fact that you were complaining in a "much ado about nothing" manner to my replies to your posts. I'd hoped you'd let it drop after sober reflection. But you just keep on presenting yourself as a victim.

Maybe I should add one more that you can put on your list: stop complaining "NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR."

A better response to such assertions is to set forth the logic and available information which supports such opinions. Just provide a rational explanation for why they're not based on "tooth fairy" or panic stricken thinking, if you can. To complain that I'm showing contempt for you personally, as opposed to contempt for poorly considered or panicky opinions, seems childish.

The fact is that you have professed "trust" in the words and conclusions of those who I believe are manipulating us through fear. That blind trust underlies many of your conclusions and your CONCLUSIONS generate my responses. You then attempt to justify your conclusions by fear laced, sky is falling, references to 9/11. The circle continues and you ought to accept the inevitablity of it; either that or start posting opinions that can be buttressed with logic rather than "trust."
