I spent some time reading and researching this subject. All in all a worthy exercise. I posted the above as I thought it gave a good description and had multiple links attached.

You seem to be the only person around here who has a problem with me Bruce. Why the fuck can't you just fuck right off and leave me the fuck alone? You're an arsehole. Just fuck off.

How's that for some advice from me to you??!

See, that's your problem. You advised aimeecc to take lookout's solution not to argue with tw. I advised you to do the same thing, when you started with tw, and you fly off the handle.
Get help, you need it.

Let's put this into perspective. Any problem you have with my posts is no where near as vile as my opinion of Aliantha now because he/she posted useless four letter adjectives. You see, Aliantha, I come from people who need not swear - in family, friends, high school, college, or employment. Your net worth is measured by such language. Right now, your net worth is near zero because you need four letter adjectives rather than facts to express yourself.

I never really had a problem with Aretha's Doc or with Barak (from long ago). But I have a problem with someone so illogical as to need four letter adjectives. That is as evil as lying - another sin that should result in immediate excommunication.

Who insulted aimeecc more? Aliantha just did with a post chock full of useless, bandwidth wasting, four letter adjectives. A post so vile that an apology is in order (not that aimeecc should expect one).

I wasn't speaking to your or aimeecc tw so it's got nothing to do with you for one thing. For another, I don't give a rats arse what your opinion of me is, so please feel free not to respond to my posts in future if you find me that distasteful.

This is idiocy.

There is nothing more emotional and illogical than the concept of "bad words". At least there's a rationale when it comes to racial epithets, but there is none when it comes to "four letter adjectives".

i'm thinking about commissioning a study to determine the statistical probability of those statements being found incorrect in that order.

He asked a question and I answered it.

It looks like it's time to put you back on ignore where I should have left you before.

I had hoped you'd see some value in discontinuing with your antagonism but I guess it was foolish to hope you'd ever change.

Ali, I think you misunderstood bruce. His advice was merely not to argue with tw, not trying to compare you to tw (which I think was how you read it).

That's possible Dana, but you'll all have to excuse me if I'm a bit touchy where he's concerned. The last time I mentioned anything about emotions in a post was to SG where that man basically accused me of being a hypocrite for telling her that she mattered to me.

So there's your explanation.

I'm done with this thread.

Arsonist. Starts a contraversy, then leave the room to let the resulting flame war consume everyone else in the room.

Ali Arson?
