You once again quoted me selectively.

You added an elipsis, and changed the entire meaning of what I said.

I'll try one more time before writing you off compltely as a troll.

There is a world of difference between "selective" (NO elipsis!) and "selective tax break based on skin color, sexual practices, gender, or national origin".

In the first case, "selective" can mean any damn thing you want, including "selective, based on tax paid -- no tax paid, no tax cut".

In the second case, we have a vile, despicable form of bigotry -- the kind of thing that USED to be frowned upon by civilized people in this land.

Suddenly, we have "conservatives" advocating tax cuts based on race -- and, attacking those who object.

You will pardon me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.

You should be careful with that word! You sometimes forget that you use it!

I think you're just a little too sensitive for this sort of thing. You think everyone is "attacking" you, "strawmanning" you, etc. etc. This is a discussion forum. If you're looking for the "nobody better disagree with me forum," you'll have to ask the mods for directions.

As for this little dispute over whether or not you used the word "selective," what can I say except "who cares?" You said it. It's in your post. End of story. Now, before I converse with you anymore, I may have to have my lawyer draw up an agreement that your wife won't sue me if you have a heart attack.
