Let see. I treated him logically for about one year of his abuse. So maybe in another year, I will back off. Fair is fair. And being more of a hardass conservative then him, he should expect such treatment.

BTW, if he was trying to backoff, then why is he posting same acidic remarks in If Moore's Law hits a sinkhole... ? Why more acidic posts even in a discussion he admits he knows nothing about? You call that backing off? Hardly.

classicman is but one example of the new posting style openly condoned in the Cellar. Once a published author named Barak hardly said anything, but inflamed others. So he was banned. Once a teenager named April was banned for simply posting as a teenager probably begging for help. Now posts from classicman and Urbane Guerrilla are condoned? When I simply do unto classicman as he does onto others, you would complain?

glatt - your very first post should have questioned why Urbane Guerrilla is routinely condoned. Why the double standard?

Meanwhile, classicman demonstrates no interest in apologizing for posting in the tradition of Rush Limbaugh. Suddenly he does not like it only when one mirrors his posting style. Maybe in about a year, I will change. But as I warned many months ago, this is the new posting standards now acceptable in the Cellar. Get used to it - or start with where these new standards are routinely encouraged - Urbane Guerrilla. I have no problem using classicman as the poster boy for our new posting standards. I don't recall you standing up months ago when this new Cellar standard was criticized by me? Or do you really like it when classicman belittles others?
