"but I've never heard you come close to admitting that you could be wrong. Fact is, you come across as something of an ass most of the time. "

I admit I'm wrong when I'm shown to be wrong. I think Tom B showed me Fact and source at least once Where i was wrong and I owned up to it.

Of course I might be wrong, but I'M not the one who got personal first when I argued against you. For me, that says something. It should say something to you.

Frankly, Larry, I don't care how I come accross to you. Truth is impersonal, and I come here to exchange views (not telephone numbers), have mine challenged for the sake of expansion and challenge others for the sake of expansion. Thats what I seek out of this community. Its people like you who immediately make BLIND dissmissive claims about the details of other peoples lives simply on the basis of their political slant that make me sick. Yes- I mean that. You make me sick.

This sort of crap should NOT be tolerated by informed people. I don't know why it is. Yes, I get pissy here and elsewhwere- but usually only when people make ad-hoc assumptions about me or don't respond to what I say but to some sort of false conclusion of strawman of what I said. I get PERSONAL, Larry, when people like YOU (and some others) make PERSONAL allegations about me in the context of a discussion about facts and views.

Again, I submit to you that you are a Coward because when I argue against you you respond with personal generalizations. I think what you are afraid of is that someone might be right and/or you may not be able to defend your views. Thtas fine, most people are afraid of being wrong at least once in their lives. Big people get over it and do what they can to defend their views or, shock!, re-evaluate them. Little people, and I include you in that category Larry because you fit the Empirical test I am about to propose, sling stupid insults and generalizations around.

See, because you ARE what you are, it does not bug me that you think I am an ass.

Enjoy, Larry. And be sure to hurl another insult or two.
