Go read the archieves. You should have read far more / observed longer before you just jumped right in; to get the lay of the land, so to speak.

You did NOT refute the article, ergo, one could rightly or wrongly assume that you agreed with it; entirely. This is especially true, due to the nature of your statement that this was an interesting article. Being called a " sleeper ", is in no way an insult ! This could denote the fact that you are a shill for this veiw and agenda. I agreed that it was possible ; I saw NOTHING, from you, to refute that assumption. The " proof ", that you are asking for, is to be found in your own posts / lack thereof ! By your words, you are known. Thus far ...NOT a pretty picture.

If you need an example of a personal attack, go read more threads. Some are worse than others. And calling someone a " sleeper ", is so far removed , from a personal attack / insult, as to be laughable.

Ahhhh... Finally!!!! That's all I was looking for. I just wanted to see your reasoning for assuming this. Since I didn't know about this whole refute the article business (BTW, not everyone here does it), I was shocked when people were making assumptions based on something I hadn't said. I'll know for next time. As for finding it interesting, I guess i should have clarified that further.

Alright. I felt insulted as I interpeted this to mean I was a liberal greenie trying to infiltrate this site (the term "sleeper cell" kept poping into my head). I hate Liberals/Greenies. I hope you can understand this. And yes I've seen the other insults being thrown around.

As for the amount I've read on FR. I've been lurking for quite some time before I signed up. Many people do not clearly state their position. Thus, I didn't think I had to. Oh well. I see your points. I just wish you said that in the first place.
