"I did not say that you said I buy steak at a store. If I intended to do that, I would have said that you are wrong about assuming I buy steak at a store."
So your response was merely intended to broadly inform, as opposed to rebut. I read into it otherwise.
"Had you known a little more about me, you would have realized that the statement that I seem twisted to them is simply illogical."
Hardly. I stand by my statement, because even upon your additional posting, I am even more certain that the folks who want to ban hunting would look at you as one who must be twisted. A vegetarian who is neither for nor against hunting? To these people, you would be more incompehensible than one who refuses to eat organic.
"The horse's ass ad hominem was a nice touch. It is an excellent debating technique, somewhat like being the first to accuse the other of being a Nazi. That's usually a winner. I guess I will begin my reading lessons on Monday. I fell into the trap of assuming a Liberatarian with a capital 'L' possesses either logic or class. I apologize for that assumption."
In fairness, I spoke in haste. I was annoyed that you mischaracterized me as at all implying YOU were a steak shopper, when I merely put forth a very analogous situation (one that you have neither refuted nor argued against with either of your posts, I might add). I was perturbed by what I considered insulting evasion. I'm not one to ignore a slight, and certainly not one to ignore evasion, and if the former was not intended, I sincerely apologize.
As a non meateater, I still submit that the anti-hunting crowd would not think I am twisted. I don't hunt and don't favor it. They would appreciate that much of my position.
I just looked at your homepage. We have the same heroes. When I was 16, I campaigned for Goldwater and had an AU H20 sticker on my Vee Dub. As for Reagan, you might enjoy my speech at the Reagan Library.
We can be friends. :) (But people who sit in their PJs and click a mouse to kill an animal are not hunters. To be a hunter, you have to at least go brave the elements and risk getting shot by the Vice President.)
