You worked in companies with graphic arts. What doing? Sales?

I have read Swordmaker's technical discussions. I have all the respect in the world for him and his abilities. You on the other hand raise a big question mark. Ad hominem attacks do you no favors.

I'm just asking, since his comment doesn't seem to be indicative of an understanding of how computer graphic artwork is done.

HE was the one (like so many) who engaged in an ugly ad hominem attack on me, simply for insisting that we as conservatives ought to do our best to deal in truth instead of falsehood: "you don't have a clue what you are talking about. You are spouting twaddle designed to fool idiots with bullshit."

No engagement of the facts, just ugly ad-hominem personal attack, as if I were not really a human being.

You know, I always thought that truth was a conservative value, but apparently I was wrong.

The fact is, I know very, very well what I'm talking about.

In this very thread I have made at least seven factual assertions. Not a single one of them has been factually refuted. Why? Because every one of them was true.

I have named four specific points that anybody can test and verify for themselves that will demonstrate that yes, I do know what I'm talking about.

And yet, the general consensus seems to have been, "Well hell, we'll just keep believing those four particular falsehoods, because they're falsehoods that we happen to like."

As far as I can recall, not a single important assertion that I've made regarding the birth certificate matter over the past two and a half weeks has been factually disproven.

On the other hand, I've been personally attacked in pretty much every single thread.

I guess I can just give up and let the nutjobs run FreeRepublic and promote demonstrably false nonsense as much as they want.

But is that what we really want FreeRepublic to be? An ideological birther purity club where rational thought and the truth, if it conflicts with the opinion of the mob, are banned?
