"you have a way of "going out in left field". Some of your responses are really off the wall."

Please explain in detail which posts put me in "left field" and the context they were written in.

I am sorry you can't follow. I will not, however, subtly attack your intelligence because we disagree on an issue. I'll just try to explain.

Often I try and illustrate things and go to related subjects when doing so. On this issue, the related subject is moral consistency, hence a comparison between stem cell research and the harvesting of organs from a brain dead person. Usually I am praised for such illustrations when people agree with me. When they disagree, they make statements such as the above as an argument tactic and a personal insult against someone with a better philosophical argument. Other times, they find a typo or a wrong word you used and attempt to discredit your argument based on something that has zero to do with the issue at hand.

And sometimes they are just not smart enough to comprehend.

Jeepers! You are not on a stem cell thread now. This is a history thread and I was not referring to any typos. I make typos all the time.

I am talking about blam sharing a history thread with us about archaeology and out of the blue you asked him if he was saying that people who are not white did bad things in the past. ( why would you ask him that?) When blam reminds you that he never said anything or implied anthing about race, you said "I know. This kind of stuff inflames leftists, thats why I bring up race."

If I can't follow your conversation, it may not be my fault but you can blame me and think I am stupid. At least I know that I am on a history thread which is more than I can say for you. You still think you are on the stem cell thread. ROTFLOL!
