How many times have you posted that Saddam would have (you choose) rearmed with nukes, chemicals or biologicals, cooperated with terrorists, threatened the world, threatened his neighbors etc., as if you could somehow know that, and as if we'd have had no powerful options to deal with such things had they actually become fact? How many times, and in how many ways, have you responded to criticisms of brutal Israeli actions in the West Bank by saying, "Well, the other guys are so terrible that Israel has no choice?" And how many times have your radical, ill supported views been debunked to the point where you had to resort to questioning the motives of the poster, changing the subject or narrowing the inquiry from the forrest to the trees? Since you've made your appearance here and dominated the talk, this board has markedly digressed from whatever level of civility, clarity and interest it once held. And there's no way of stopping you. You'll continue to multiple post the same unsubstantiated, inflammatory and often silly statements and most of us will have a hard time letting those statements slide. But, as hard as it may be, I think that when you post statements that have been thoroughly debunked the board would be well advised to simply remind you that you've already lost that debate and move on. If we had that discipline we'd have more time and energy to discuss new issues instead of recirculating old silliness.
