Sorry, not guilty as charged.

"but - there are times when someone like me could be interested in hearing more of what you had to say"...emitres

Sorry emitres...and this isn't personal but...I'm not trying to convert anyone here...or anywhere else.

"whoever wrote the opening post ( in this case you ) needs to be reminded that this isn't junior high... try to rise above that sort of thing..."...emitres

emitres, where were you when some of our members were posting pictures of Bush in a Nazi uniform...or a dunce cap or were libeling Bush day in day out or attacking Bush, not on his policy decisions but on the core of his being?

They were having such fun but, they were the first to run to Randall and whine when I decided to engage them in a language they could understand, their own.

As far as rising about that sort of thing...debate and rational discussion were offered several times. But, rolling around in the mud with inflammatory libelous rhetoric was more to their liking. I simply joined them. The difference is that what I say about their leftist icons...is not libelous but sadly, true.

It's not I who spouts nonsense here katatonic; that's you. Virtually every allegation you've made here lacks any merit. The only conclusion one could draw from your rants is that you actually enjoy spouting nonsense and drivel. It's takes nonsense and drivel to defend Socialism katatonic and that seems to be your goal in life...in spite of every fact to the contrary that Socialism is a dead end political and economic ideology.

Neither do I consider emitres to be a leftist...nor am I baiting emitres.

the fact is, jwhop, none of those people are here anymore, are they? and you continue acting as if you are "beating" them. you might find, if you were to drop your pugnacious insulting stance, that you could actually discuss these issues in a fairly rational way.

but several people have told me that you were like this even before 2000...so i wonder if you didn't bring it on yourself?

We've had that before with the Kindred Spirits site. A site which suddenly disappeared when someone discovered them gossiping about other members here. That became a fascinating study in deleted posts rapidly followed by the site disappearing.

As for the period before 2000 you mentioned; that must have been on the Conscious Evolution site which was crammed full of leftists who attempted to shield one of their favorite little Socialists, Saddam Hussein. Some of them were pushing a petition drafted by that old commie Ramsey Clark to leave their little murderous buddy Saddam alone...as well as pushing protests in America organized by International A.N.S.W.E.R. which is a communist front organization of the Workers World Party, a Stalinist Communist organization.

Funny thing. Some of those people showed up here under different screen names and didn't bother to inform members here we had met before....Mirandee being one example.

Rainbow was an exception. She was Rainbow, on Conscious Evolution and here. I miss Rainbow. Though we argued, I liked her and respected her.

or do you want me coming down to fla to make sure you don't talk to anyone about anyone else EVER? sending out the riot police because you vent to a friend or laugh at someone behind their back. don't tell me you've never, because we all have.

i remember you storming into a convo i was having with AG one day on my KTAA thread, complaining about "talking behind people's backs" - so behind people's backs that it was open for you and everyone else to see. they do say eavesdroppers never hear anything good about themselves.

but mr constitution, people gathering elsewhere online and discussing whatever they please - especially what has been disallowed here - is FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND SPEECH. maybe not kind but then are you? i mean when someone disagrees with you do you say "interesting thought" or "you lowlife idiot leftist"...kind of makes people want to go elsewhere, doesn't it?

as for the idiot leftists who turned you into a sour puss, they're gone. you're not hurting them at all. just yourself. several of us here have said to your face that we suspect there is a nice guy buried somewhere in there...but you seem to be afraid that the nice guy always loses. sad.

your approach to people's opinions belies your insistence that the free market takes care of everything, doesn't it? they're entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness too, aren't they? or is that just for martini drinking exstockbrokers who vote the right ticket?

have one on me.

lol... my mother lives with us so she takes all the "infuriating" out of me on a regular basis - the most any outsider can muster from me is a raised eyebrow

seriously though, i had suspected much of what you said katatonic...it really is a shame though... either way, if you don't find it too exhausting ( or boring )please continue to exchange verbal parries with jwhop - it's most entertaining to read
