For example, in 499 he says I show a disdain for "intellectual property" with the connotation that I don't think patent and copyright should exist. He then posts a snippet of an earlier post where I said "'Intellectual Property' is a fiction and the term shouldn't be used."

You can try to play word games all you want, but based on your history and my memory of those posts I would probably see it the same way GE does. You are either playing a game of gotcha "I didn't say that exactly as you paraphrased", but the meaning and interpretation is there for most to see it that way. If you don't like your posts being misinterpretted try to write them more clearly to leave less room for interpretation.

The problem with this thread is you forget that you have a history of posts that others remember. People on CONSERVATIVE forums are generally pretty smart and they can remember your past posts that show your opinions/beliefs. Then when you post new items they are read in context of your history.

You suffer from the samething that swordmaker suffers from...you claim one thing, but when called on it you say I Never said that exactly. Which means your first statement is meaningless as it no longer is relevant to the discusion thread/question.

But you haven't read the history, so you're only guessing based on GE's lies. I am for copyright and patent, just not the abuse of copyright and patent.

People on CONSERVATIVE forums are generally pretty smart

Which is why you find yourself alone in defending GE. Ever stop to think about that?

Keep trying. I've shown posts where GE flat-out lied about what I said. Where he cut off the end of posts where the latter part of those same posts makes people come to a conclusion that is the opposite of what GE claims I wrote. He takes my disdain for the term "intellectual property" to mean all patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret when my stated problem (throughout my history) is in the term itself, not what it represents.

ROFL, who does he think he is trying to kid, now trying to claim he supports Apple's copyright protection/DRM, even though he's been lying in defense of illegal hacking Apple for months? His posting history is full of links like these, get a load of this exchange from over a year ago:

"Mac OS X will only run on Macs"

"That'll be hacked about five minutes out of the gate."

Another lie... and more ad hominem. Find any post where I wrote that OS X or the Mac is perfect or has no flaws. I have provided multiple links to threads showing that what YOU claim I wrote is twisted from what I actually wrote.

By the way, it is rude to discuss another Freeper without addressing the comment to him as well.
