I've gotten out enough to know you are one of the worst of your bunch at talking down to people, slinging insults, acting Superior, and have the worst know-it-all attitude, IMHO. I hate having to say that to you, I don't want to hurt your feelings. It's just maybe you could think about your approach to people sometimes, and it might help to cut down on the insults. God knows, anything to help. Desparaging statements to people brings out the worst in everyone, myself included.

First of all, I seriously doubt you're going to hurt TJ's feelings.
Secondly, I happen to admire TJ's responses. He's always very sharp in his analysis and has a way of stating things with clarity that makes me envious.
Perhaps it makes you envious as well and that's at the root of your complaint against him.

I give what I get. People who are civil and want to discuss ideas are treated with civility. People who lie and hurl insults are treated in kind.
Most of this site does not seem to value the former. Posters who hate libertarians are allowed to pursue their agenda by posting threads aimed at trolling for flame wars. Other respond in kind.
It's a circle. If you don't like my attitude, it's a personal problem for you. I'm not here to make friends in cyber space. It's one of the few places in life where you can say what you want and no one's feeling will be hurt. If they are, those people just don't get cyberspace.
