No, but it is negative to provoke statements that you will, in turn, use to
scathe me. You whack me, I whack you, you whack me, what's the point? Grow
up already.

No, I'm just heading off stupidity that you are perpetuating.

I'm the one who wrote it and I know the intent. You make wrong assumptions.

Struck a nerve, did I? :^)

It's very clear what you REALLY want to know is why I said that you're "WAY
far to the right" politically, isn't it? That's the crux of this whole
grilling. That's why you created this new thread because you couldn't stand
not knowing what I meant by that. You are soooo wrapped up into your
politics that you take great offense when someone labels you as "WAY far to
the right". You are EXTREME, and I rest my case as to your lack of
convention.
