"We" as in normal people who argue cases rationally for a living.

Uh-huh.

Once again, you throw your pretend weight around, call names, and divert, rather than take the challenge, do the assignment and actually try to debate, win, etc.

I haven't called you any names.

You're claiming that they didn't answer the questions: I fail to see why I must go and review your multiple replies to others, when you're the one making the initial assertion of fact.

(BTW, in the interest of not clogging the server, please press "Post Reply" only once. Also, mashing "Post Reply" multiple times is another tried-and-true troll profile hit. If you don't like the fact that you're fitting the profile, please quit fitting the profile. There's a certain etiquette here. Kindly respect it.)

By the way, did you really hae to run off and get your friends and your little virtual badges.

I pinged a few people that you've traded responses with on this thread. If you don't feel comfortable with those people possibly reading your posts, then you might wish to only use "Private Reply."

Leaving aside "newbies," presumably an occupational pathology of yours -- I think the following is what I mean you calling names, "Your behavior fits the pattern of many trolls..."

I feel comfortable with anyone actually answering questions and making valid, factual points. Ignoring points and replying with non-sequitors is not answering. If you , or anyone else "fails to see" why questions should be answered, then that's one thing,but to at the same time call non-responsive replies "answers" is a bit ridiculous. As all can see, they are really just snipes and ankle bites.

Truly sorry about the posting, I am new to this, as you have pointed out, and when I have hit 'post' at the requisite two prompts the message has not loaded very promptly, leading me to think it wasn't being sent. Kind of like hitting the starter twice in your car. Usually not considered a 'moving violation', although it occasionally rattles cranky holier-than-though neighbors.

Now , if you don't have any other marginalia or enforcement tips, perhaps you could answer, defend, reply or otherwise subtantively engage re the Gaffney article or my earlier replies to you, your friends and others. Until you do I won't bother with you, and that way you won't have to bother with me. A club of one's own is so comfy, eh?
