I'll acknowledge, rereading it, i was too rough on it - hence my change from 'completely discredits him' to "discredits to a degree" the article. But as far as I'm concerned, it was an unnecessary shot by the author. I feel there is so so much wrong with what he said in that paragraph - he deems the moral absurdity the fault of these 3 men, but is it not morally absurd that you, as stated in your other thread, cannot even voice your concerns about islam without fearing court cases?

Anyway, I digress with that, it was in my opinion an otherwise well-written piece, I just feel it was spoilt by an unnecessary cheap shot. I'm also happy to edit my post if it'll make anyone happier.:yep:

Okay, however. Maybe I was a bit harsh, too.

That is too kind of you. And I don't buy one bit of your honey, for your record and history of threads and opportunities that demonstrate your willingness to manipulate by suggestive language is too often too obvious. Some may fall for your occasional candy-sweet poison, and manipulative "reasoning". I don't buy it. And if others do, it is not of my concern. I just watch and wonder.

I'm not one to throw, what you call 'honey', at anyone. You seem to know that Skybird. I pull no punches, I speak my mind. I also allow you to speak your mind. That doesn't mean I will allow you to make statements/disertations I disagree with without challenge. That is free speach. I have always been a relentless advocate for free speach. Look back at my posts and you will find that to be the case.

Free speach does not, or ever has meant allowing a free, unapposed, disemination of any one persons opinion. It is for that reason that you and I have come into conflict in the past, and,I expect we will do so in the future. The sooner you accept that fact the more comfortable you will be with 'real' free speach.

Your own polls with their extremely suggestive options illustrate what you understand as "free speech". And often it is rabble-rousing. Many of your psotings do not lack that quality either.

By intention.

Like your new signature that meanwhile you deleted again, maybe by demand, maybe by better knowedge - a quote by Neal that you intentionally ripped out of the context of the thread where he said it. Takeda was totally right in your latest poll thread when saying you were not about an honest serious poll, but about trying to challenge me again, and I knew it as well from the first moment on I read just the title of that thread. that'S why I ignored it completely.

You give a damn about political correctness yourself, and don't hesitate to cheat by words and phrasing if it promises to help you getting your views delivered, no matter how extreme and intolerant they sometimes are. And when you come under fire for it, you turn by 180° immediately and try to hide behind suddenly behaving like the most politically correct and honest person on earth. You just have overlooked - that the show is not believable anymore if you exaggerate it so often and so extreme like you do.

I write this calm and with an untroubled mind, that times are over, regarding you. Because I know by multiple experiences now that it is only a question of time until you will run into troubles with people and the moderation again, like often before, and prove all by yourself by your very own acts that I am right on target with my assessment of you. You proved it before, and you will prove it again, it is a safe bet.

All I need to do is lean back, enjoy my coffee, and wait.

Out.

I've lived there. It's actually Cantafordya.

Cantaffordya is correct.

Verily, thou holdest the truth in thy words. I humbly bow and admit my grievous misspellings to the world.:sunny:
