I understand economics...I have made my living on it for 40 years.

You know, that's just wonderful! Now if you can learn to make your replies have some connection to what you're replying to you might be able to form some semblance of an adult conversation. With someone. Until then you just do what you're good at...

• Make non-sequitur replies

  (ie having no connection to the topic you're replying to)

• Make assumptions as if you have mind reading abilities.

  "Just guessing you are tempted to type NOOB"

• Cast aspersions on unnamed parties to make yourself look smart.

  "(which is what stupid Freepers say when they realize all the smart guys have been banned)"

• Toss out gratuitous insults when someone tries to lead you back to the topic.

  "Can't determine if you are an ignorant jerk..."

But by all means give no indication that you have any intention of ever recognizing (much less responding to) the actual subject matter.

[TigersEye]

Well ... thanks. Too late though. I already replied.

[RoosterRedux]

Gee...what a thoughtful response.

Perhaps my original perception of you was more accurate than I wanted to believe.

I guess you are the reason that gentlemen are so highly regarded...in an inverse sort of way, of course.

[TigersEye]

I guess you wanted an essay for your (now clearly empty) apology!?! lol

[RoosterRedux]

Not exactly. What I was looking for was a demonstration of your character.

And that is what I got. In fact...that is what we all got!

[TigersEye]

Yes, you did. I accepted your apology and made it clear that the previous reply was composed before I read the apology.

[TigersEye]

I should add that you have made it clear that you never meant the apology.

[RoosterRedux]

And, yet, there you are...still being the jerk.

Quit playing to the audience and ask me if I am sincere.

I am right here. Why play to the audience if you are sincere.

I said I am sorry...but you continue with your insults.

I think she wants Michelle’s (or Monica’s) job not Gibbs’.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Obama sock puppet.

[TigersEye]

You started the insults and now you’re going to whine about it!?! Lame.
