    He's the one with all of the negative Karma points and it shows. Living in a trailer in Hicksville
    USA is quite the punishment. He's such a sad and pathetic case, we should all take pity on him and
    those of his ilk.

    Yeah, like the flu in Colorado thread? No, I haven't found Dave to have even one shred of human
    decency. The fact that he revels in childish argument is a symptom of that, I think. I really do
    think, for the most part, that Dave is about as mean-spirited as one can be without already having
    self-selected oneself out of the gene pool.

    Well, one could take issue with that comparison for a number of reasons:

    1.) Do you think I revel in childish arguments? While I'll engage in a flamefest every now and again
    for amusement, I would classify my participation in a.m-b as mostly level-headed discussion.
    Mostly. 😉

    2.) I consider the reveling in childish argument a symptom of his problem, not merely the act of
    engagement in said argument. I am looking at the motivation, not the mere action. Since we have
    had a wide variety of folks engage Dave in his idiocy, one might imagine that engaging in
    flamefests in and of themselves is not indicative of a mental defect. You, Rimmer, Pete F., JD,
    Clyde, etc. have all taken their shots. Are you suggesting, even for a moment, that those folks
    should be compared to Dave, just because they engaged him at his level?

    suggesting that by engaging Dave at his level, that you are comparing your motivations with his?

    3.) Finally, while reveling in childish argument might be a symptom of a lack of human decency, it
    certainly isn't the only one. It might in fact be just a minor one, with his own dumbass
    commentary as the primary indicator.

    While I do agree that there is irony in my comments, and that I have sunk to his level on several
    occasions, I do not agree at any point that those acts in any way indicate that I have the same sort
    of mindset.

    So, after all that, please enlighten me as to the implication of your comment. State it in plain
    English, such that a dumb 'Merkin could figure it out. That way we'll both be clear on your opinion.
    Of course, if you're just having a [censored]-take in my direction, and it was all meant as a joke, my
    apologies for not seeing it. I am one of those 'Merkins, after all. 🙂

    Thanks,

    Since you are loathe to state your opinion openly, I am going to have to ASSume that you find me a

    Fair call. I didn't ignore what you wrote though, I just chose to ignore it because I was tired and

    That is where you are mistaken. While I do find some small (and I do mean small) entertainment in
    replying to Dave, Scotty-dog, and the Enviro-nut, it's merely low-brow entertainment. Nothing more,
    and certainly there is no "revelling" on my part. More like "throw-away jabs."

    Hardly. Sometimes I watch the television for no other purpose than to empty my brain of conscious
    thought. That doesn't mean for a moment that I am glued to the "entertainment" currently shooting

    What it makes me is an amused observer. I do not accept responsibility for his actions, nor for his

    You, Rimmer, Pete F., JD, Clyde, etc. have all taken their shots. Are you suggesting, even for
    a moment, that those folks should be compared to Dave, just because they engaged him at his
    level?

    The thing is that all of the people that you've named there don't chose to argue with the same one
    or two people on a regular basis.

    LOL. Nonsense.

    Define "regular basis."

    suggesting that by engaging Dave at his level, that you are comparing your motivations
    with his?

    Haha, probably...

    Again, nonsense. He has some sort of problem. I doubt that you do.

    4.) Finally, while reveling in childish argument might be a symptom of a lack of human decency,
    it certainly isn't the only one. It might in fact be just a minor one, with his own dumbass
    commentary as the primary indicator.

    While I do agree that there is irony in my comments, and that I have sunk to his level on
    several occasions, I do not agree at any point that those acts in any way indicate that I have
    the same sort of mindset.

    And how do we tell the difference?

    Posting content.

    Quoted message said:

    I mean, you know your own motivations for arguing with Dave, and you think you know Dave's, but
    how are the rest of us supposed to gauge 'mindsets' in a name-calling contest?

    By posting content, taken in total. You have mentioned that you thought positively of some of my
    postings in a.m-b. Can the same be said to Dave's? To anything close to the same degree? The
    appearance of irony is merely that - appearance. And BTW, I do appreciate kind words about my
    postings. If someone takes something positive away from what I write, great. If folks don't like
    what I write, then my suggestion is to not read it. I try to be more positive than negative, but I'm
    a package deal. 😉

    I'm sure it won't. Pity...

    Why so?

    Well, one could take issue with that comparison for a number of reasons:

    <I'll just snip the rest because this is the important bit>

    Uhh, no. The reasoning is the important bit. Ignoring it is easy if you have a point to make, I
    suppose...

    So, after all that, please enlighten me as to the implication of your comment. State it in
    plain English, such that a dumb 'Merkin could figure it out. That way we'll both be clear on
    your opinion. Of course, if you're just having a [censored]-take in my direction, and it was all
    meant as a joke, my apologies for not seeing it.

    I just found it ironic that you'd inferred his engagement in childish arguing was a symptom of
    his lack of 'human decency', when you're frequently one of those who partake in the arguments
    with him.

    No, not merely "engagement." Re-read what I wrote, instead of just ignoring it.

    I could have stuck a smiley on the end because it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I thought there
    was a valid point in there.

    I will surmise that this is at best a "white lie," since you decided to ignore completely what I
    wrote, and re-iterate your original opinion.

    Since you are loathe to state your opinion openly, I am going to have to ASSume that you find me a
    sociopath on par with Dave for merely engaging him in his idiotic arguments. Of course, your
    engagement with him in this thread suggests...? Worse, if arguing *with* Dave is stupid and
    childish, arguing *about* Dave must be...?

    But no matter. As I do not give much weight to USENET denizens' opinions of me (negative *or*
    positive, especially from those folks I have never met,) your implied criticism has no effect on
    my self-worth, nor will it have an effect on my posting habits.

    Good day, Mr. Harris.
