Your PM is received. Since it is not, strictly speaking, offensive, I will not re-print it in its entirety.

I will address your points openly, however.

1) I don't really care who or what you think you're 'encouraging' by making wild-eyed unsupported estimates of "us" and "them". Lots of folks did that before CW-I ... you're making the same mistake they did. I recommend against it.

2) I didn't "ask" you about equipment, I stated flat out that you were ignoring the topic.

3a) I don't claim to be a smart guy. I may or may not be one, but I make no claims.

3b) I am not a lawyer.

3c) I'm not sure what sort of 'drift' you think you get. Really. Don't over-think this, I'm NOT playing games.

3d) I am not a fed.

3e) I am not trying to trick you or anyone else. Again, I'm not playing games. I just don't do that.

3f) I do not wish to see you or any other patriot get arrested.

I do wish to see patriots use their brains. That includes being willing to discuss matters rationally, and to address criticism without personal attacks.

You claim to be a Marine. Fine; I'll assume that's true for the moment. You are forgetting that your audience (which includes me) is not composed of PFCs under your command.

"Shut your suck" may work in the squad bay; it most assuredly DOES NOT work out here in the real world.

All further correspondence will be carried out on thread; any further PM from you on this topic WILL be copied, in its entirety, on thread.
