With respect to the "anonymous right wing posters", can you prove that someone complained to SI about the "names awful liberals were calling them"? Well, I can prove someone complained to SI about me. And it appears the complaint was regarding a name that I as an awful liberal called someone. Let's let Jill decide! Calling someone stupid, idiot or fool IS against the Terms of Use! Commenting on your profile IS NOT, as far as I can find! Arbitration anyone? Well and what do you know, Jill (actually Bob) did decide. Arbitration indeed! exchange2000.com exchange2000.com BTW: Hint for the conservatives. Say you go to SI with a snippet from ONE post where some liberal was abusive to you. Well what you dont know is, the SI police then look at your profile as well as the other persons profile to see the context of the debate. Now lets just say, hypothetically, that your profile contains nothing but one hysterical rant after another directly at this other individual, misc insults etc with that persons first name clearly elucidated in the title bar of each post. Then, for the "offender" SI sees all these generic posts on different threads and only one defensive post to this individual. Uh oh! Problem! Re-group conservatives - regroup! Backpedal.... quickly...... duh, oh too late. Moral: Calling the police on yourself is a risky business.

With respect to who is snitching on who, we appear to both be privy to confidences we can't fully disclose, so lets not try to go further with it. With respect to 'serial perjury', I am now pretty sure the phrase was coined a few weeks ago by Pat Buchanan and quoted in various places since. Pat Buchanan also invented 'pusillainimous pussyfooters' and many of my other favorite Spiro Agnew-isms. Basically, Spiro was just Pat's mouthpiece in those days. Pat likes to have fun with words. Being a speechwriter of some creativity. Of course, it's possible that Zoltan! is Pat Buchanan. He has the same pugilistic instincts and the same deep misunderstanding of when he has no chance.
