Sure I do. As a wise man once said:
And my pointing that out to others does not require me to be anything but a member of this forum. You do not own this place nor do your words in anyway possess the imagined force you seem to think are behind them. You are the hypocrite.Oh wait, that was you, wasn't it?
Please do not include me in your discussion.
I will take this as an admission that you recognized the source of the derogatory comments I quoted in post #478 (albeit with "evolution" edited to read "creationism", all else was verbatim), and have no defense for the way you've been overlooking disgusting posts from "one of your own" (he *has* signed the agreement, by the way) while sniping at far milder words from "evos".
If you can't handle people pointing out (or asking questions about) your own posting behavior, then perhaps you ought to stop making a career out of doing the same yourself.
If you'll stop lawyering, I'll stop pointing out the beam in your own eye.
Frankly, I'd much rather be discussing the actual topic (and I *have*, you'll notice) instead of countering overblown charges of "incivility" every few posts.
And to exaggerate for the sake of making a point, I'd feel a lot more charitable about the motives of some posters if they'd write something like, "friend, in that last post of yours you may have inadvertently skirted one of the rules of the agreement, I know you wouldn't want to give offense" instead of "You've broken your promise, gotcha! I told everyone from the start you varmints couldn't be trusted."
(Ironically, although at least two "anti-evos" have expressed the concern that The Agreement had been crafted by "evos" in order to use as a "weapon" on discussions, the only people on this thread who have been wielding it like a bludgeon have been non-signing "anti-evos"...)
In any case, I will continue to reply to any public messages I think worth commenting upon, including yours. You ask me not to "include" you in "my" discussion... It's not "my" discussion and you "included" yourself by posting here. It's not like I pinged you into it or started talking about you behind your back. If you choose to "include yourself" in a discussion by posting on the thread, your posts remain public comments and are open to comment by others -- including myself.
You're welcome to drop out of the conversation if you can't bear to see my responses, but you can't silence me, no matter how convenient you may find the idea.
Nonetheless, I have no intention of "stalking" you just to annoy you by purposely violating your request that I stop replying to your posts entirely. I'll respect your request enough to make no further replies to any posts of yours earlier than this one, and I won't go out of my way to reply to new posts of yours just because I can.
But I'll make you a deal -- unless I've used any other words you'd like to claim I don't understand, let's both sleep on it tonight and then start with a clean slate tomorrow.
