Interesting. This changed.
Subject 53787

You've started so many it's hard to remember them all.

OTOH, the same can be said of me.

I have decided you are right. Our words show people who we are- at least on SI.
Fine. Spread the word. There is still a large population out there that doesn't believe it.

But I don't attack people personally anymore
Oh yes you do. You're doing it to me now. I expect PMs have already gone to Dave. This after all your claims in prior years that you would never turn anyone in to Admin. Are you saying you didn't last week? And there is one known previous case where you did just that.

And this is hardly your first attack and I am hardly your first attackee. Your known for it.
Here's an example I recently found:
Message 13446294

Five years old, you say? I hardly notice a difference from that and now.

I don't go after them over and over again, and I especially don't go after them with a group of other posters, and I prefer to go after ideas.
Right. Save it for the judge.

personal character assassination
That, madam, isexactly what you stand accused of.

I'm glad your heart attack didn't kill you, and I'm sorry Neo's did. He sounded like a wonderful father, a caring husband, and it is clear he will be missed.
I too. I was lucky. Very lucky. He wasn't. He and I had a few differences but basically he was a good guy.

I'm sure you would have been missed too.
By some. Others might have a party.

If you can live by that statement, you will find many of us willing to start over with you. Just for the record, I don't think you can. I agree whole heartedly with:

“That does not mean that you don't demean, ridicule, malign or
intentionally insult individuals, & groups of people. And it
does not mean you don't look down on, talk down to, dismiss
out of hand, vilify &/or berate individuals or groups of
people who just do not happen to be in lockstep with your
POV's.”

And this Randian quote that joe likes to post:

“Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking to them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character.”

The latter quote expressing eloquently the burr that you place in my paw.

Terms of truce: Ideas are fair game personal character is not. I figure you will not be able to keep from personalizing your discussion… we’ll see.
