I make no illusions about making condescending attacks on the trolling poster, nor do I make any apologies. Many people happen to disagree with me here and have not received personal attacks.I may have attacked the argument zealously, but not the person. The reason why that is, is that good or bad, they made an argument and more or less left it at that. That notable exception went beyond this, however.

[sarcasm]

You are absolutely correct. Calling a poster a name like "troll" should not be construed as a personal attack on a specific person.

[/sarcasm]

Let me know if you need me to quote examples from your posts.

Sinergy

p.s. It would be nice if you could make a posting that dealt with the issue, but basically your approach seems to be to attack the person posting by calling them names, denigrating their experience, trashing their knowledge, and presenting yourself as He Whom All Knowledge Springs From. It is fine if that works for you, but I agree with darkinshadows' comments that you are not presenting yourself as a person in control of yourself.

...And I am beginning to agree with Rule who has blocked your posts because the misdirected posts you make after failing to read or understand what was written is enough to try the patience of a saint. I would love to respond to what you have said and bring each issue up, but that would take 2.5 pages and you are just going to fail to read or misunderstand that as well (I have already tried this with you in the past, and whatever the deal is, it's just not working with you). So, for all intents and purposes you are right about everything in this world and I am wrong. This is my intellectual gesture of "buying you a beer". Now maybe you'll walk away too, and I can say this was the best 350 words I ever spent.

You are suggesting I failed to read or understand the word "troll" in your posts used to describe juliaoceania?

Calling people names is so grade school in my opinion.

Sinergy

p.s. I accept your offer of a beer on one condition. Please stop attempting to insult juliaoceania, it is rather disrespectful to both her and our relationship. I imagine if you had a submissive (if you dont have one) you would not appreciate somebody else calling her names in front of you.

Peace out.

Your Anti-American tirade

I am most definitely anti-Bush (and Blair for that matter), anti-organised religion (regardless of denomination), and anti-governments who don't give a shit about their citizens (and I do sympathise because we have one here in the UK too), but one thing I am not is anti-American, and if you read my post again you will see that it is not America or its citizens that I am attacking, but rather those minority groups (who just happen to be American) who would seek to remove your Constitutional freedoms. To say I am anti-American on the back of my comments is akin to saying that I am anti-German just because I disagree with what Mr Hitler got up to in WWII (and yes, I know he was Austrian but I'm just making the point

)

Once again, good luck in your finals - if you attack them with half of the passion and intelligence that you display on these forums then you should breeze through them

Shadows, Bush is also refusing to enforce our immigration laws which is grounds for impeachment.

Well, we do seem to be getting rather stricter regarding our Northern border

Studies have demonstrated that citizens are less likely than police to shoot an innocent party, i.e. mistake an innocent for a criminal.
Also citizens are more accurate in their fire than the police in self defense situations.
Paul Craig Roberts, who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration, writes:
England has discovered the truth of the NRA’s motto — “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” The gun ban has only disarmed the honest citizens. Drugs are banned, but they are available almost everywhere, as was alcohol during Prohibition. If a deranged person can’t obtain a black market gun, he will make a bomb.

This is the sneaky statistical ruse...

Outlaw guns and perhaps homicides BY GUN decrease
(and perhaps NOT... if we count DEATH BY COP, but I digress)

A truer statistic would be whether HOMICIDES BY WHAT-EVER MEANS
decline, stay relatively static, or (my suspicion, with a PRESUMPTIVELY DISARMED populace) rise.

Were these incidents reported in the local paper? Which paper would be the one to search for these stories. I would be interested in reading them

Julia... I say this sincerely and without the least insult intended ~

From my personal perspective,
much is NOT reported in the MSM: MainStream News,
if it is out of line to what the 'Powers That Be' prefer the sheeple to believe.

Just Saying...

Sad to say but you have the right of it.

The 'Good ole U S of A', is the emerging Totalitarian Threat aka '1984', just a few years tardy.
