Well good for you then. Since I qualified my statement with “IF” and you wisely sidestepped my observation that authority and superiority are not the same thing; I consider the issue settled. Your interpretation is wrong. Period. You know it and I know it.

Even your red herring of portraying my post as a slam against your military service doesn’t speak well of your character. Admittedly, it does credit to your intelligence since the usual anti-Mormon players got suckered as evidenced by the righteous indignation against me for saying something I did NOT say. But then, that’s only to be expected in these here parts. Well played.

I did not and do not condemn your service - I admire it. In fact, I’ve been encouraging my sons to serve in the US military despite being Canadians. I did not serve and I’ve always regretted it. Both my father and grandparents served in WWII. My father was shot on four occasions and injured by mortar fire once. Tough guy.

So, what have we learned in our brief exchange? I have a thin skin when it comes to dishonesty and you have a thin skin when the jab hits close to home.

Welcome to the human race. Perhaps now we’ve crossed the Rubicon and a more honest and respectful dialog can occur.

That hole you insist on digging goes much faster with one of these.

I would make comment on your attempt at invoking sympathy with claims about your honesty and desire for that in others, but that is essentially a sick joke now coming from you, as has been demonstrated.

Wow, you can’t even get that right. What we have all learned is...you have a thin skin, you are DISHONEST, and you resort to attacks when you apparently cannot defend your position.

We have also learned that Godzilla is and was a great American vet.

Your statement and inference . . . . no out right open statement - against my military service ending with a DC is putrid, and as a veteran no "IF" will ever provide adequate 'coverage' for that. Secondly, it doesn't matter about either - you are not an authority over me, nor are you superior to me.

I did not and do not condemn your service - I admire it.

I definitely do not believe you. This is more likely trying to suck up to JR to keep your sorry keester from being zotted. The fact that you attacked my military service - absolutely ignorant of it too boot - shows you hold veterans in low esteem.

Welcome to the human race. Perhaps now we’ve crossed the Rubicon and a more honest and respectful dialog can occur.

Any credible dialogue got flushed down the rubicon with that. You are a dishonest rube who when unable to present an argument goes to a personal attack. Yes, you certainly do not understand the military, for I've locked the heels of many a snotty solder with your attitude.

No, another poster was correct - you've shown all just how 'nice' mormons are.

you have a thin skin when the jab hits close to home.

I have a thin skin when a snotty nosed and arrogant canadian choses NOT to address the issue being discussed and choses to personally attack me and my record.

And a condescending attitude to boot.

“Even your red herring of portraying my post as a slam against your military service doesn’t speak well of your character.”

Your character shines through with every post. Lack thereof I mean.

If this is how you do analysis, no wonder you’re no longer in the military.

Dishonorable discharge, eh?

Well, just keep on digging Watson.
