The worst thing I've done to myself today is waste as much time as I have with a few of the strangest wingnuts I've seen on FR in a while.
You don't know that. All you know is what I posted. You don't know what I think about other remarks on this thread, save for the posts where I responded. Besides, because someone else does something that weakens their arguments means that you should too. Isn't that special -- NOT!
Then that was between me and the other poster. What was your business in it, save to simply try and get attention? Nor did I see you castigate anyone else. And I'll repeat it. Anyone whose argument is to call someone a communist sympathizer because of a legal argument has a dearth of intellectual capacity. And that goes for those who carry their water for them too.
There's two or three posters effectively debating your arguments. I thought it would be more fun to step in the face of your arrogance. If you're going to imply intellectual superiority via seeming insult you had better not be intellectually lazy. Why set yourself up? Raise the bar, so to speak?
I take it, you don't claim to be one of the two or three posters....hopefully? I sense you suffer from an extreme lack of self image. As for the effectiveness of their arguments, those who support their position would presume their arguments are effective. Those who do not wouldn't. So what?
Obviously you didn't do any of that. Incompetence to do basic research to any measurable degree. Intellectual laziness... Intellectual Superiority?! HA! ...Come on, that's funny. The irony? You don't think that's funny?!? I think I know some who does...
Heck, I'm glad I can provide some humor for you. You do need it...badly. By the way, the phase is "I think I know some who do". How's that for intellectual superiority?
"It is better to sit in silence and be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt." -- Mark Twain.
Indeed, you might well heed that admonition.
Then that was between me and the other poster.
Absolutely. I didn't write anything about what other posters may or may not have said about you or to you, or what you said about them. You injected other posters into your and my discussion -- not me, it was you. That you assign to me what you did is a non sequitur at best.
What was your business in it, save to simply try and get attention?
I wasn't in-between you and other posters. You boasted arrogantly of your supposed superior intellect compared to many FReepers. I expected you to demonstrate that superior intellect. In your next post you proved yourself incompetent to do even basic research and intellectual laziness. You contradicted your previous statement. I called you on it by making fun of it.
Nor did I see you castigate anyone else.
So what!? Apparently some other poster(s) have made derogatory remarks about you -- called you names. Perhaps you did similar to them. I don't know and don't care how you and they respond to one another. You brought others into yours and my discussion, not me. If you have a problem with other people it's between you and them. Leave me out of it.
Anyone whose argument is to call someone a communist sympathizer because of a legal argument has a dearth of intellectual capacity. And that goes for those who carry their water for them too.
So according to you. because I make no comment to them or don't castigate them I'm carrying their water? If that's what you meant, your argument is a non sequitur. Not even guilt by association, rather, guilt by non-participation. According to you when I point out an error you made you hold me responsible for pointing out other people's errors. You keep wanting to bring other people into your and my discussion.

I never claimed nor implied I was intellectually superior, but you did. And I called you on it because you were so quick to contradict yourself. That, and because I thought it would be fun.
BTW, regarding: "I think I know some who do" -- Since there was only one person -- Mark Twain -- the correct grammar is someone who does. Thank goodness I didn't go boasting about having intellectual superiority or I'd have egg on my face.
