We keep hitting a stand off between facts/what-works versus personalities/name-calling.

I do want a sound money that supports the well being of the Republic, but what we have now it NOT it. Usury is not compatible with freedom or a Republic.

I want a sound money that doesn’t support socialism and financial feudalism. That allows freedom from others to legally steal what I have stored. But most of all, the dollar is destroying itself. I believe there will be a coming revulsion against it. Granted the collapse of the rule of law in this country contributes to both the rampant fraud, political distrust and the unsoundness of the dollar.

Ok, it can be over, but, of course, you said you had no more time for this exchange last time. Do remember that you were the one who tried to impress the unsophisticated by dragging in math that had little or no application to the article as written, evidently in an atempt to deflect criticism from something that was poorly argued and researched. Your attempt to mischaracterize what I said in the last post indicates a fragile ego. One doesn’t have to have a Nobel (although none is given in math, which you ought to know)or a Fields medal to have done work in the areas I mentioned. In fact, you will find that there are quite a few on this board who have a background or profession that renders them immune from being bullied by a few phrases from some area of math or physics, for example. Talking about “partially ordered sets” might work to amaze the natives and silence people at DU, but not so much here.

As for your position, I leave it to others to decide whether they agree that the article’s claims outran its evidence and analysis by miles. In any event, I look forward to your next last post.

This isn’t getting anywhere. I’ll let you know if I can figure out some way we can go with this.

I know that it is not always easy to make a call as to whether a post crosses the line. The one-word post #79 is not one of them: it contains nothing except name-calling. When Admin Moderators let posts such as these stand, it suggests that guidelines have substantially changed since I joined FR a decade ago.

Sorry to bother you, but I am left with no other way to learn except to ask you: is pure name-calling now acceptable on FR?

Please advise.

I wonder how long it will take till fromLori spews her usual commie propaganda and blames this on Goldman, the Fed, CEOs and their bonuses? post #3

Frankly I’m sick of Top Quarks personal attacks and I believe it is against the rules of Free Republic. Please address this poster enough is enough.post #9

Debate it on-thread post #26

I guess, the absence of your reply is a reply in an of itself. I learn from it that even a one-word post with nothing but name-calling is within the current guidelines you set for this forum. It has been approved by AdminModerators and you personally.

Here is something fresher: an open threat of violence, and it is not the first from this poster. Pinged to a mob of people, it is apparently within your current guidelines as well:

When the SHTF...and it will...I'll be looking for people like you. You'd better be looking out for people like me if you know whats good for you.

Well, you are the boss; and the boss has spoken --- with his silence, but loud and clear.

Like you, I hope that the "revolt is coming," as you once said --- a revolt against the Leftists who now dominate our culture and government. For the past ten years I contributed, to the best of my abilities, to the discussion of conservative issues on this forum. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

I wish you all the best --- in your personal life, your profession, and in all your endeavors, including this forum.

May G-d bless you for being a true partiot of this blessed county of ours, for serving it througout your life, and for creating this forum.

You take the cake there TopQuacky.

You stalk and harass and DEFAME other Freepers, then you go and cry. Boo hooo

Maybe you should look up the word defame, and ADMIT that you do the every same thing, Quacky.

It is not conservative of you to go around defaming other Freepers because they disagree with you, whiny worm.

You disrupt any thread that threatens fiat banking and you do it with lies, LIAR. You are to blame for any coming unrest, you defend FRAUD, and when this nation starts to wake up, YOU will be to blame if the lefties win, BECAUSE YOU DEFEND FRAUD.

quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,

In a total economic collapse you will dance like a little circus poodle for a tiny piece of my gold.
