Lindy and I have lowered the level. Is it in the ‘ad hominem’ attacks we've made? Which are they? Or is in the ones we've inspired, we are at fault for "causing" those?

And what did either of us say which is lower than those attacks? I’m serious, I’d like to see the comparison. What did I say, for instance, that was lower than those attacks in your clearly carefully considered opinion?

Does the despair some of us experience over having yet another Democratic politician die in unusual circumstances in a crucial race offend you, lower the level? Is it our sadness of seeing our country looted, innocents abroad needlessly slaughtered, people imprisoned without charges or legal representation, and seeing the process which allows those things interfered with again what bothers you?

Is it in becoming tired of having elections stolen, with the connivance of the Supreme Court? Is that offensive to you? I mean being offended that elections can't just count ballots, and having that process left intact. Does my disappointment at having the electoral process disrupted once more offend you? Is that what lowers the level in your mind?

Some of us remember John Kennedy, and the fact that Jack Ruby, a Texas hack, prevented us from finding out what really drove that assassination. And remember Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy. All killed. All of them liberals, by the way. Look at the list of politicians killed which have been posted. How many of them Republicans (though one John Tower is worth a lot – what a scumbag!)

Does our remembering those and adding these to them offend your sense of, what? Decorum, decency, just what is offended, by the way?

Or is it just more ‘ad hominem’ stuff, this time from you? Is that it?

Look at the people who have endorsed your remark, the two immediately below me. I don’t have the time to read ‘em, and really can’t think of any socially redeeming quality which might justify the existence of one of them. Does it offend you that some of us disagree with them? Are they the standard up to which you will hold the rest of the board?

Apparently.
