"OK, put your money where your mouth is. For the benefit of all of us who have put time into this thread, kindly document exactly where I ranted and raved about any types of demons or divine retribution whatsoever. Please cite the number of the post and the exact wording."

Context is everything. That sort of blind quote is used to make a point--it's not a direct quote of anyone in particular, it's the kind of "general quote" a certain "type" might be relied on to utter or think. And don't come at me for that, it's right out of journalism 101. By the way, I reread it, and there's nothing there to suggest I was saying I was directly quoting YOU.

As for "the benefit of all of us who have put time into this thread," get over yourself. Like the libs say, if you don't like the content, change the channel.

Then why reply to me? You were wrong and you couldn't match my show down, so you try to slide out. It's not working.

You have done little but label others offensively this evening, then deny responsibility when confronted.

Since you are so worried about what others think, think this: learn to communicate your points without attacking others, only the topic.

See if you can go ten whole posts without defaming someone. I bet you can't.

You toss out inflammatory remarks that other people have supposedly made, and now back down, since no one made such remarks.

Who are you trying to fool, anyway?
