		<description>Incidentally, now that I think about it, look down this FLAME board and tell me who&#039;s doing a lot of the &quot;provoking.&quot;  Me, I&#039;ve got no problem with any of these posts.  It&#039;s the Flame board.  It&#039;s here specifically for things that are likely to piss people off.  And if I want to jump into the mud arena and fire a few handfuls into someone&#039;s face, what the hell&#039;s the problem?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As for your vaunted logic, we’re sick and tired of having every bit of evidence we introduce here summarily dismissed as either something you had already seen,(so what?) or the result of some obvious Socialist, Liberal, or media operation to subvert the Truth.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Imagine this quietly spoken:  Doesn&#039;t whether or not something is actually true mean anything at all?</description>

		<description>There&#039;s quite a bit of distance between &quot;Socialist&quot; or &quot;Statist&quot; and &quot;opposed to Libertarian ideas&quot; too, but that never stopped you from slandering anyone who had the audacity to call you on your politics, TB, or to even refer to those politics tangentially in regards to some other issue. &quot;Your way or the highway&quot; is not just a figure of speech, it is a deliberate and and reprehensible rhetorical tactic designed to discredit your opponents by calling into question their intelligence and their character.  Get off your high horse, there&#039;s too much shit on your saddle.

As for your vaunted logic, we&#039;re sick and tired of having every bit of evidence we introduce here summarily dismissed as either something you had already seen,(so what?) or the result of some obvious Socialist, Liberal, or media operation to subvert the Truth.  Yes, you are a fanatic, and an anomalist, and a spammer. You are also a hack who not only follows a philosophy, but will also defend to the death any partisan turd who happens to be associated with it at the time.

Your entire presence on this board has always been to provoke debate and ensure paralysis of ideas so that only what you want to discuss is ever brought up. You have seized the dialogue and forced it into one destructive and self-serving rut, and then you have the nerve to complain when others object.</description>

		<description>Good God, did somebody pith you?

You&#039;ve got nothing lately.  This isn&#039;t like you.  Seriously.

I don&#039;t watch Fox News.  If anybody here could refute my actual sources they&#039;d do it instead of gibbering about it.

Again, I don&#039;t watch Fox News.  Write that on a Postit and put it on the monitor.  That way when your eyes wander and you instantly forget it, you&#039;ll be reminded when you look back at the screen.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s it TB, start with a conclusion and then cherry-pick the &quot;evidence&quot; from Faux News. And you say you studied science?</description>

		<description>The assumption is usually a safe one, and I go after the data with a lot of confidence that it will contradict the liberal talking points.  Most of the time, it does.  In fact, since the same talking points keep coming up, usually I just have to hit a bookmark.

You could set a marble down on the &quot;progressive&quot; learning curve and it would not move.

How long can one maintain a &quot;discussion&quot; of whether or not 2 + 2 = 5?  Would discussing it another hour change anything?</description>

		<description>A perfect illustration of the problem.

You refuse to discuss liberal ideas without the assumption that they&#039;re wrong, which really means there&#039;s no discussion at all. And I *would* call that fanaticism.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s quite a range between &quot;firmly opposed to liberal ideas&quot; and &quot;Nazi.&quot;

I refuse to accept that 2 + 2 = 7.  I also refuse to &quot;compromise&quot; by agreeing that 2 + 2 = 5. Call that fanaticism if you want.</description>
