Concurring bump.

Violence in posts and personally abusive invective (Capitan_refugio's #1488 having been called to my attention) are mentioned in FR's TOS, but it seems to me that outright deception and dishonesty in argument is likewise abusive of all other persons reading a thread, including lurkers, whom such deceptions are intended to mislead.

"Catch me if you can" may be a standard operating practice for a liberal troll or a Marxist apparatchik "plying his avocation", but I thought conservatives were better than that.

There are a number of people with whom we've shared differences but haven't ever had to put up with this kind of intent to mislead and deceive. Citing a contaminated Supreme Court opinion like Texas vs. White (or the infamous anti-RKBA 1939 Miller decision, or Plessey vs. Ferguson, or Roe vs. Wade) is one thing, but just making stuff up by transposing briefs, pleas, and holdings for one another is something I don't think readers of these threads ought to have to put up with.

Respectfully request removal of the posts nolu chan cites as disinformative and deceptive.

An honest poster would have made the request of AM's himself, immediately the error had been brought to his attention.

As did I. Then again, perhaps the persons in question are not truly conservatives. Capitan does have a tendency to take the "CBS News" approach to historical documentation.

Et tu, lentulus. Have you no shame?

None of my posts are outrightly deceptive or dishonest. Whenever I make a mistake, I correct it. There is nothing there dishonest or deceptive.

And you can me abusive? Can you justify your personal attack "a liberal troll or a Marxist apparatchik"? You must not see my post conserning Tom McClintock and conservative activism in the liberal state like California. My conservative credentials are unquestionable.

If you have a problem with the posts, then refute them. You don't do that, insterad you resort to personal attacks. I can take it, because of the fundamental correctness of my postion. The Republican Party is the "Party of Lincoln." As an avowed Lincoln-hater, this must really bother you, and must, in part, underlie your desire to have posts defending Lincoln and the cause of the North in the Civil War pulled.

I feel sorry for you.
