The gender reference I believe is one of actual assumed identity. The height thing is just childish invective.

Not to mention the fact that I've basically backed off from that claim anyway.
Don't misunderstand, I'm not retracting it, in fact the longer this goes on the more convinced I am, I just see no point in pushing the point since it makes no difference. What does it really matter if there's more than one person who feels the need to post childish insults, and make overbroad generalizations, and constant assumptions/assignments of evil motivation? It's just that, like I said before, the similarities of style and use of identical examples really seem too strong to be a coincidence.

What, you didn't think all liberals think alike? We read the same books, go to the same movies....

What have I ever said that gives you reason to believe that I think that all liberals think alike? Oh I know, you think that because I tend to be conservative, and some conservatives think that way then I must also.

No, it was this stupid comparing me with some other person. I don't thiuk I've ever compared you to anyone except Verne Troyer.

Hmm, physical midget like you seem to think I am or mental midget which you've proven yourself to be by continuing on with the childish height references. Which is worse?

Chaz,

You have clearly won this debate with Tub...now the best thing to do is not respond to her any longer.

It would be just fine if neither of you did, as both of you have shown an unwillingness to act appropriately. If you think I am insulted by your misstating my gender, you are mistaken. All I see in that is the pathetic nature of your responses.

So why do you think I'm insulted by your references to my height? If what we do is pathetic, that ins't you doing something almost identical in nature equally pathetic?

MAYBE. I'm just playing the game the way you do.

May I ask why, if as you claim you've not had previous interactions with me under a different screen name, that you started "playing the game" first?

Are you familiar with the phrase "When in Rome..."?

Yes but that would imply that the behavior in question was going on when you got here or that I was the one that engaged in it first. Such is not the case. You came in making all sorts of statements as to what motivates people who disagree with you, basically assigning all sorts of bad intent. I let it go for a while, hoping you were just having a bad day. When it became clear that it was you usual everyday behavior, I called you on it and you started in with all sorts of childish insults, basically amounting to nothing more that kindergarden level "did not" "did too".

Your actions do not look like the ones of someone interested is actually discussing things with people of differing viewpoints. If that is a wrong suggestion then may I suggest(as I basically have before) that you keep the tangentially related slams about motive and the negative assumptions to yourself. Failing that your intended purpose here will become quite obvious.

To summarize, you are engaging in behavior that irritates me, and others here, and I'm asking that you stop and stick to actual discussable points rather than stating fact as opinion and backing it up with negative assumptions about anyone who disagrees. Surely someone as educated as you claim to be would have tired of just stirring up crap for the sake of doing it a long time ago.

I don't think so. You just can't stand opposing views being stated. I suggest you stop whining like a little bitty baby. Your intended purpose is only to enforce political correctness and I am here to tell you you are failing there.

I'll type this very slowly so that maybe you can keep up.

Opposing views I have no problem with. Someone who can't state their view without taking some sort of shot at the character of those that might disagree is where I have the problem. Try stating a view without the completely unnecessary and quite often totally beside the point attacks on the character of others and see what happens. You just might be surprised.

Because that is a unique enough tendency to nail someone on. Even a lawyer!

That's what a liberal education gets you. With that and $3.95 you can get a latte at Starbucks.

My conservative education told me that "liberal education" is an oxymoron! Ha

That's the type of insult I was expecting from you.

typo fixes:

"fact as opinion" should be "opinion as fact"

"wrong suggestion" should be "wrong conclusion"
