You posted a little bit back on 2/07/2002 -- the day you were born. ableChair started a thread and got into a flame war but you came to his defense just as you are doing now. It's almost as if ableChair and kodaChrome were of one mind. You posted about six times and then that was the last we heard from you until now.
and were at war. even if your wrong sometimes its necessary to just win
So how far would you go to win an argument? Would you resort to creating an alternate user identity to support you?
From ableChair's profile page: "I am me and you are you. But I'm not real, just a shadow. Here but gone, never quite reified. Catch me if you can. "
But regarding egos or alter-egos, I don't agree that the people who critisized you, er... I mean ableChair did so to protect their ego. If that were true they would have responded to your... I mean, his insults in kind. They would have flamed him back. But they didn't, they were quite civil. Why would they do that? Why would they take those insults when it would have been so easy to shoot back? Because they wanted to teach him a lesson by example. Instead of flaming him, or calling the moderator, they showed him that it is possible to have a debate without responding with invective.
Well, ableChair said he won't post here anymore but I expect you will. I do hope you've learned something about civility from his bad example
i think your being overly paranoid. yes, ive defended ableChair before and ive read his posts before. ive also made other posts as well. relax.
I too, was on that vanity thread. Does that make me ableChair :-). For the record, I think ableChair was right also. In my op, this is just an ego trip for the folks that were out-maneuvered.
