Just for public consumption, I am not putting a dog in this for any reason dealing with my relation to the other poster, but because I am very painfully tired of your hypocrisy in who you 'call out' and your arrogation of the moral high-ground in pissing contests like this.

Just to point out:
"Would a smiley face have helped?"

No, but its funny that someone you defend here says slanderous, bigoted, mean-spirited insulting things on a post-by-post basis, only to follow it up with a 'winky face'. Instead of getting your scorn, you defend him. You say all of nothing about Lee, all of nothing about Nelson. You ignore Scott when he uses a pseudonym to post bigoted hateful material. But you accuse R.L. of planting pipe-bombs when he dares tread a little heavily.

If someone with political leanings goes too far in your estimation, you are quick with scorn and insult.

While you criticize R.L. for being deep in talent but narrow in focus, I'll simply point out that you are a two-faced hypocrite with a double-standard the size of everest. And leave it at that. Enjoy your hollow moral high-ground, and your empty protestations of vast wisdom and life lessons, you conceited self-ignorant fraud.

I know my flaws, and I don't arrogate from them.

One interesting point. Most of R.Ls 'hyperbolic and un-called-for' behavor is directed solely at folks who disregard reason or science (excluding the Iraq war, which EVERYONE here gets hyperbolic about, very much including you). Whats your excuse?

I am leaving my name off this because of the real-world context I am posting from, but you know damn well who this is.
