To: abstract who wrote (3325 ) 7/6/2004 1:36:29 AM From: Sully- Respond to of 35834 FWIW, one more post like your last one here & I will ban you once again. Here's why........... <font color=blue>"How I do in you eyes or on your thread means next to nothing to me."<font color=black> Your lack of respect for my POV is just one of your shortcomings. You have no respect for many things, including this thread's standards, which you violate regularly. You also have little respect for facts & credible evidence that runs contrary to your inflexible POV. Issues we have discussed on this thread & Voltaire's Porch clearly document that your perception of reality stands in stark contrast with the real world. We've been down this road frequently enough for me to say with certainty that your political beliefs have overpowered your ability to be objective. I have documented time & time again where your POV & reality were clearly at odds with each other. Your lack of respect for my POV doesn't change the fact that it is you who regularly violates this thread's standards - again, this is well documented here, even though you have stated that you do not violate this thread's standards. <font color=blue> "I find your attitudes and behavior so wrong that I am compelled to comment."<font color=black> Unfortunately, you do so in violation of this thread's standards. You often hurl baseless personal attacks along with those comments in violation of this thread's standards. You frequently post your personal opinions, but fail to back them up with facts & credible evidence, again in violation of this thread's standards. I have documented these violations numerous times. Yet somehow, you firmly believe that you fully comply with this thread's community standards. <font color=blue> "You could be fun to have a discussion with, but I sense that it is more important for you to be right than anything else. I find that attitude offensive, sort of like the bully - yes you remind me of a bully who props up his small time ego with his big time body, but in reality needs significant help to just get through the day, to say nothing of life."<font color=black> Once again, you have posted your personal opinion & attacked me personally with baseless assertions, but you failed to back any of it up with facts & credible evidence - all in violation of this thread's standards. Sadly, if you had bothered to objectively read what I post here & elsewhere on SI, you would have never made those baseless assertions & personal attacks. I am all about gathering as much relevant information about various issues & analysing it. I do this before making informed conclusions & opinions that are logical, reasonable & most importantly, reality based. And I am willing to change my POV as time & events unfold - something you seem incapable of accomplishing. <font color=blue> "You misquote me - draw inaccurate conclusions from your conditioned reflective thinking and assume that my reality is flawed because yours is skewed." <font color=black> Actually, I almost always quote you verbatim. Then I compare your words against factual, credible evidence before I draw accurate conclusions - all of which I frequently provide links supporting everything. As you can see, your stated opinion & reality are completely at odds with each other. You on the other hand firmly stick to your faulty POV regardless of how often I expose it as factually flawed & completely at odds with reality. And you rarely, if ever, attempt to support your personal opinions with factually accurate, credible evidence - in violation of thread standards. <font color=blue> "You are beyond educating and beyond compassion - but you like it that way so have a good time playing with yourself, by yourself, by your own selfish, exclusive rules that propel your small time, narrowminded opinion of the world and how it operates. I feel sorry for you." <font color=black> Again with more baseless personal attacks in violation of this thread's standards. That's really humorous. And no doubt you still perceive that you have never violated them once. FWIW, I use this thread not only to expose POV's that have no basis in reality, but to document massive quantities of factually accurate, relevant information from credible sources regarding many of the most contentious issues we face today. FWIW, I have a PM to myself that lists numerous subjects that I link to posts on this thread so I have quick access to all of this information when I am debating issues, etc. I also have numerous Bookmarks (Favorites) that are links to websites, links to web documents & links to other relevant information regarding these same issues. <font size=4> Has it ever occurred to you, or made you wonder how I am able to quickly provide links to relevant information that is credible, factual & accurate, which clearly supports my POV on so many diverse matters so easily?
