re·pu·di·ate ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-pyd-t)
tr.v. re·pu·di·at·ed, re·pu·di·at·ing, re·pu·di·ates
To reject the validity or authority of: “Chaucer... not only came to doubt the worth of his extraordinary body of work, but repudiated it” (Joyce Carol Oates).
To reject emphatically as unfounded, untrue, or unjust: repudiated the accusation.
To refuse to recognize or pay: repudiate a debt.

To disown (a child, for example).
To refuse to have any dealings with.

I believe the "reject the validity of..." definition fits the current discussion, but I have been guilty in the past of accepting or using a word that sounds like something it ain't. In this case I can at least make an argument, which I must assume you know to be different than your blatent assertion. I would advise caution when flaming someone when you are not standing on 100% firm ground.

Why in the world you would think I am a liberal is beyond me. If you follow my posts, you will see that I am quite the opposite. I rather liked having someone here that forced us to sharpen our argumenation scissors -- but it is true this is JRs baby and he can do whatever he wants and ban whom he wishes.

If that was your point,it was lost in your diatribe.
