Info Idiot, You are a bigger idiot than I had ever guessed. This thread is the most useless, senseless waste of time and energy that I have ever seen. And you, particularly, are pathetic. You never respond intelligently to anyone except those who seem to agree with you and your silly crap. You offer nothing and take up otherwise valuable space. There is no good reason to have you as a member of S.I. As I have said previously, you are in need of some serious therapy.

INFO IDIOT: Why haven't you given Len the permission he has asked of you so many times? Why do you continue to ignore his more than polite requests, then persist in sending him more useless, repetitious posts? What are you afraid of? You have offered on various occasions that your resume is available on request. I am requesting it. Please send to my attention at the email address posted in my S.I. member profile. What are your specific credentials, what is your degree, where earned, etc? Did you say you are a psychologist, PHD, research scientist, senior executive, hate crimes and prejudice expert, and so forth? Coming from industry, I know you are not a senior executive. You clearly are not qualified as such. I would, however, believe that you are seeing a psychologist (which I have already suggested you should do) and, perhaps, you are playing a silly game with us pretending to be one. Your ignoring this request will prove to all intelligent people that you are, as I proclaimed previously, just another pitiful internet idiot who chooses to talk from beneath some obscure rock somewhere on the planet. What a joke you are!

Regarding the agreement to reframe from ad hominem arguments, it was asked elsewhere, "Not even the President?" The answer is yes, not even the President. No one anywhere, no one on SI, no one on this thread, no persons or peoples, no races, no genders, no individual or group, no one over here or over there, no one anywhere. No I don't like ad hominem arguments nor green eggs and ham, Infodart I am. The prohibition against Ad hominem arguments should not be confused the bonafide and important discussion of the "character" of an individual, where the character of the individual is an essential component of the larger argument. For example, given the question of can this President properly do his job. And, given an initial assertion and agreement that "character" is an essential prerequisite for properly executing the duties of a President, then one could make arguments in support of the notion that the president lacks "Character," without necessarily engaging in ad hominem arguments. Please see definitions I will be posting later on regarding ad hominem arguments as rhetorical fallacies. Rhetorical fallacies, by definition, try to move us further from the truth rather than closer.

One man's ad hominem is another man's I'd humour 'em. ID, I'm fairly sure that, if there is a God, we are proof that He has a sense of humour. "Look out kid It's somethin' you did God knows when But you're doin' it again You better duck down the alley way Lookin' for a new friend The man in the coon-skin cap In the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talkin' that the heat put Plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the D. A. Look out kid Don't matter what you did Walk on your tip toes Don't try "No Doz" Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes You don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows." berggren.starwarsfan.com Posted entirely for the purposes of humour, btw ... no message except that - 'Goddamn, I love SI' ........ cheers ...... marcos
