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.

Zon: I think I know some who does... 143

By the way, the phase is "I think I know some who do". How's that for intellectual superiority?

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.

That you assign to me what you did is a non sequitur at best.

Let me guess. You are taking a logic class in high school and are testing out some of the terms?

You boasted arrogantly of your supposed superior intellect compared to many FReepers.

Well, if I thought I had superior intellect before this thread, you and several other "Freepers", so to speak, have certainly done little to disprove that.

I expected you to demonstrate that superior intellect.

Your posts and those of a few others have done far more to demonstrate my superior intellect than anything I could have said or done. Thank you.

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.

In fact it was you who inserted yourself into a discussion between me and another poster. I had not directed any comments to you nor did I insinuate anything derogatory about you, until you made a complete fool of yourself.

You really should stop using terms you think make you look smart. They only do if they have meaning in context. And yes, you are carrying their water for them. Two of us traded insults and you somehow felt it was your place to challenge me alone. You looked for a totally meaningless mistake and decided to take me on, not for the purpose of the thread, but to simply for a food fight. Never mind the numerous errors I have pointed out that you have made. You remind me of Sharpton who was "shocked" at Imus' comments while ignoring all the racial comments of those of his racial background. Your motives, just like those of Sharpton are highly suspect.

I never claimed nor implied I was intellectually superior, but you did.

It's good you don't claim any intellectual superiority. You might find it difficult to substantiate.

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.

You see, the problem with that is that you were referring to other "freepers" who share your "values" here on this thread, not Mark Twain. Your Twain quote was not linked to your statement. Either way though, it was your error, not mine.

Frankly, I've not seen such a group of bottom feeders on any thread as I have here. Several so called Freepers here somehow think they have some special insight into the concept of freedom. They don't, and all the personal attacks they launch against those who disagree will not fortify their case, but merely point them out. I'm sure you understand.

You take care.
