appropriately it is on the flame board where insults sometimes but not always reside.

You on the other hand, feel free to insult on any board in the most flagrant manner. Not only do you do this but you feel justified in telling Robert to kiss your ass, in so many words, when he calls you on it. If I were Robert I would bitch slap you off of the board instead of sulking off to ponder why he keeps it going. How do you expect him to police the Smyths of the world when a long time member basically tells him to stuff it.

By your behavior you have looked into the abyss and found yourself.

Ther is little merit left in anything you say. You are smart but under educated and narrow minded. You attack that which you know and that of which you know nothing and don't understand. You have devolved from bright and interesting to dull, wittless and sullen. Your relationship with this board has become that of an abusive spouse. Lashing out unexpectedly and with little justification.

You are universally identified as a liberal version of Ed but minus the occasional contrition and redeeming nature.

I read this forum because of liberals like MA, Daniel, alcaray, tony, et, occasionally Fox (I preferred etelekeli for some complex reasons) and Robert when he deigns to participate. Most of the other libs are tolerable but uninteresting. I have the highest respect for most of the conservatives here but I doubt I would hang around for endless back slapping.

The best thing you have posted in the last 2-3 years was the 15th rewrite of 4-5 paragraphs of a scifi story. This is of course excluding your posts on space which I (and most others) don't read.
