I beg your pardon? Your one posting here has more insults than any I have made. I haven't called anyone a bore or a boor (or even a boar - the male chauvinist kind), I haven't accused them of being lonely and having alterior motives, I haven't called them "poor dear", I haven't said they have a disease (ouch!, I feel a headache coming on).
Are these the kinds of comments that passes for rational discourse in your "set"? It sounds more like venom, devoid of any substantive point, ejected more to inflame than to promote rational deliberation.
It also seems like the final sputterings of a frustrated debater, one whose tank has run dry of logic and had to fall back into vituperation and shrillness. Are you saying in the end this is all one can expect of a "live poster"?
Not only are you and I in a dead end thread, a thread that was not about live events to start with, but until piasa offered some calming words I thought we were probably the only ones reading this.
I do not plan to buy into cable or satellite, unless you wish to send money. You will be happy to hear that I do, my dear, have a TV, two in fact. Both used mostly for playing video tapes - you know, all the favorites like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, or "Have Gun, Will Travel", and "Avengers", and "Inspector Morse" and "Sherlock Holmes" episodes, war movies, Biblical and Roman epics, that sort of thing. And Xavier basketball in the NCAA playoffs, and the occasional football game. Now surely that list can inspire some more spit and dribble.
You can beg,but it's still no pardons. LOL
