This should surprise no one. But seriously, SampleMan, you should think about going back and reading them. You might learn something.

If you've read one you've read them all. Tell me, if I kept calling you a liar, would you keep reading my posts?

S-man:

-- there are equally some real nut jobs arguing for legalization by any means. Should tpaine think that's a reference to him, its not.

Thanks for the faint praise, and for realizing that I am not making a personal attack on you either.

-- This debate on governmental prohibitional power ['states rights'] has been going on since the Constitution was ratified. -- In effect we fought a civil war about it -- Can you agree?

Now I find that you want to play a 'one way' game.. -- You get to make personal remarks about me, but claim to be above "wasting time" reading my responses. -

Bizarre ploy.
-- Feel free to imagine you're making some sort of a rational point.

Sman:
I'm breaking a new rule of mine here, but you might as well know, I haven't read a single one of your last 40-60 posts

Thanks for the comment KurtZ.
As we see, S-man has ~convinced~ himself that somehow this debate has become a personal insult game, and that any remarks I make about his constitutional misconceptions in effect 'call him a liar'; -- and that this allows him to make personal remarks in return.

I've run across this 'conviction' before with other opponents :
In the next stage, - when I continue to challenge his points [which he ~chooses~ to ignore], - he will call in the mods & insist on protection from my dissent.

Unable to defend his political misconceptions about prohibitions, S-man is refusing to debate. -- That is not a lie, it is a fact.

A rational man would rebut any posts calling him a liar..

-- Which of course would mean he would have to find & repost those alleged comments. -- Which cannot be done, as they do not exist.
