You are wrong as usual.

It appears, Ruffian, that you chose your handle of 'ruffian' to personify the dictionary idea:

1. a tough, lawless person; roughneck; bully.

In order to accomplish that, I can see how it would be necessary to take everything personally and attempt to make things personal for everyone else, paired with rude and abusive conduct.

Feel free but such behavior also forces you to compromise principle and sacrifice personal decency to push things to extremisms, resulting in your being bluntly and crudely wrong about most of these discussion topics, with no redeeming qualities.

Nothing personal here, just the facts. For what its worth, I disagree with the dictionary on this definition. I don't consider bullies to be tough. I consider you all to be cowardly thugs, desperately striking out at others in an attempt to quell your feelings of your self hate and fear.

Best regards,
