tb, you don't really seem to understand, do you? we are under no obligation to respond to you just because you have posed a question. where is it written that we have to rebut or agree any and all of your tiresome political rants? we don't need to provide counterexamples because we are not interested in countering your arguments, it is a one-sided discussion, and it's all on your part. and we don't care whether or not you agree with any of us either.

just because you insist on repeatedly interrupting the proceedings here with your paranoid concerns doen't mean they have to be our concerns too. your very last post reveals your purpose here, not to learn or question or discuss, but to establish your dominance and to monopolize the conversation until only tb's political concerns are being discussed. your agitprop posts are spam, junk mail pop-ups and we simply don't care what you think, much less refuting it.

we have no more interest in your politics than we do in your business, your religion, your hobby, your sports team, or your after shave lotion, and we expect the same. if your content were limited to any of those topics you would have been laughed off here a long time ago. so why should your political passions be exempt from common conversational courtesy? sure, all topics are fair game for discussion, but the same topic, year after year, several times a day is really, really, really bad manners.

you have abused your privileges and i for one, am suffering from politeness fatigue. but don't take it personally, it's not the band i'm complaining about,
it's the song.
