My point is that to wish 9/11 in to someone's backyard, for ANY reason, is a nasty thing to do. It is evil minded. It is especially evil minded in the context of a discussion that was about risk assessment, and had nothing, whatsoever, personally to do with YOU.

Whether you are actually evil or not I don't know. Some of your posts certainly are. I found the 9/11 one to be qualitatively one of the worst I've ever seen, but we are all shocked by different material. I found it shocking because 1. you claimed to respect the victims yet you used them to make that stupid argument and 2. it was wishing death and destruction on a part of the country. Whether you meant it, whether you didn't, that sort of wish statement shocks me. Wasn't it Coulter who claimed she wished the NY Times was blown up? I found that shocking too. I know, she's a hero of yours, so maybe you just don't see the problem with those kinds of statements, but I find making them evil minded.

I don't think I've ever seen you make a logical argument that didn't end with you exploding in anger and making nasty statements. Whatever our records are, I think the "argument" that ends with wishing 9/11 in to someone's backyard is a loser, but I do understand you still choose to hug it to your bosom.
