Well Davin, if you've noticed I haven't posted to you or engaged you in anything since you told me to "bugger off " a few months back. And I really don't want to have to answer you or talk to you because of these long standing hostilities. But it was your brother that started flaming me on Off Topic (a practice for which he has been "banned" several times), yet he continues to rant, and you come along like a little brother and dog pile on. So, even though I don't WANT to engage you, I will answer to your post and then tell YOU to "bugger off" and leave me alone. I'm sure the Zoners are tired of listening to us by now.

You stated:
>"I think you would be hard pressed to find a post where I have openly insulted you..... nobody can can call you on the obvious quackary that you preach. "

You know, you HAVE insulted me, but hey....you got it right back.
I'm sorry I never saved any of them to refresh your memory.
I thought we decided a long time ago to just stay away from each other.
I have abided by that, but for some reason you tell me to bugger off and leave YOU alone, then you come flying right back in my direction. Hmmm...

>"I think that you belive that because RL is (to put it gently...) impolitic in his posts, and because he has been censored for confronting your obvious ignorant quackaer in the past, that you think you can go apeshit whenever anyone even slightly stands up against you- even someone as erudite, composed and as intellectually honest as ER speaks out."

"Obvious ignorant quakery". Gotta love that one Yeti Burger, you are such a Master!
Your brother is not gentle or "impolitic" (whatever that means).
ER may be composed and erudite, but he certainly lost it on that post to me he asked the moderator to delete.
If people would just THINK before they post, maybe look up at the heading at see what board they're on?
That might help.
I had to check the name on his post again, because I thought it was RL talking.
As a matter of fact, I would like to point out some hypocrisy as far as ER's concerned.
Because what he was complaining about, is actually what he was dishing out.

ER:
>"What used to be a place where someone could relax and play, perhaps even engage in some lively but friendly debate, seems to have turned into an ugly and vindictive place, filed with sneers, insults, snide remarks, I-told-you-so's and other schoolyard rhetorical tricks........ You cannot use public humiliation as a weapon against those who have no shame, and humiliation is the weapon I reach for last, not first."

Well, for his first post to me on that thread, guess he lost it, eh?
I guess you other Zoners have taught him this great defense mechanism.
If you don't like the message, shoot the messenger.
At least he apologized and we can move on.....hopefully to greener pastures.

But there are no greener pastures for you and I or your brother and I.
Can't we just be done with each other?
Please?
