Zimdog,

Please refrain from falsely accusing me of mischaracterization for criticizing the absurd moral equivalencies with Christianity you attempt to argue whenever a muslim radical commits an act of violence or terrorism. You have drawn such equivalencies throughout this thread and on dozens of others. I consider this form of argument to be illogically constructed by reason of its false analogy and highly offensive toward Christians. In fact, I believe it is a fair characterization to say that you pull out names like McVeigh and the Columbine shooters, and that you falsely attempt to link Christianity to Hitler for no other reason than to inflame and offend Christian freepers here.

That being the case, I find the professed sincerity of both your note and your vexatious pings to various moderators to be highly suspect and intended not to correct a genuine grievance you feel but rather to silence other Freepers who have criticized your positions and tactics, including the aforementioned moral equivalency arguments. Far from being polite, you have reputedly impugned my honesty, maligned me with false accusations of bigotry, maligned multiple other posters with false insinuations that they support genocide, and generally behaved in a manner that is both quarrelsome and intentionally inflamatory.

I am accordingly asking you to cease from mischaracterizing valid criticisms of your argument as "personal attacks," to cease the false and defamatory insinuations of bigotry against myself and other posters found throughout your posts, and to cease your frivolous and vexatious attempts to involve forum administrators in your bizarre personal battles with other freepers.

I have done no such thing. Nor will I ever.

I pull out names like McVeigh, the Columbine shooters and Nazis because they are terrible people who need to be recognized as such.

and that you falsely attempt to link Christianity to Hitler for no other reason than to inflame and offend Christian freepers here.

I make no such attempt. As I've pointed out on many occasions, it is only through your logic that Christianity is linked to Hitler. You have linked Islam to Hitler based on the enlistment of 21,000 Muslim troops in the Nazi army. By that same logic, the millions of Christian troops in the Nazi army would link Christianity to Hitler. I have spent over a month trying to convince you that this logic is faulty.

What I get in return are baseless accusations of "moral equivalency", attacks on my honesty, and disparaging comparisons to "Baghdad Bob."

As for the charges I've leveled against you, I've given you every opportunity to renounce your "tribal guilt" logic, revise your fuzzy math, and refrain from making snide, behind-the-back personal attacks. I have done my best to do so in a polite manner, out of respect for the forum and the manners I was taught as a child. You have refused to do so and I am unswayed by your sudden conciliatory (and direct) manner, given that the Moderators have issued a final warning.

I present historical facts, sir. And I skewer faulty logic. I have no truck with any individual, merely with the wrongheaded, bigoted, or downright dangerous ideas they may spew. I will continue to attack wrongheaded ideas with all my vigor as a true Christian, an American, and a conservative.
