You are claiming "Many Americans" agree this is WWIV. I merely point out "many Americans" also think CFR is a great law and that "the rich" don't pay their fair share of taxes.

No, you said "most of you think" in post #551, not "many Americans."  It was that phrasing that turned it from a reasonable comment into a snarky, outrageous and unwarranted attack.

I can accept that you mispoke, I do it all the time, particularly when I'm trying to type quickly in a response.  But you also should recognize that your posts have been phrased in a way that is easily percieved as unusually hostile on this thread.

Wolf24:many of us to realize that we are in WWIV, but not a critical mass IMHO

Here is the direct quote from Wolf I responded to in #551. You choose to ignore the origin of the disagreement in your response. My use of "you" was a direct response to his use of "us" in his original statement.

Your response is "a snarky, outrageous and unwarranted attack."; Your response is merely an example of the logical fallacy know as argumentum ad hominem. You are merely attempting to avoid having to address the issue by making a personal attack on me.

My original point that an ideas popularity, or unpopularity, in no way adds or subtracts for its intellectual merit or credibility remains unchallenged in your response.
