bleeding heart Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Hi BH, you seem to have good arguments on this board. Just a note, though, that the moderators here have little patience for insults on any level, and they reserve the right to discipline any poster who violates Rules and Guidelines in the top bar. I'm a facilitator here, so I am only a messenger. Welcome. I will indulge in a little more civility-effort, sure.

Eventually we came onside on Haiti, so we got another arrow in our quiver." --Bill Graham, Former Canadian Foreign Minister, 2007

Guest Peeves Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Ah. So when you elsewhere inform cybercoma that you were openly conceding that you had "neither the facts nor the law...on your side," and that cybercoma was correct...and you were wrong! Have you informed cybercoma of your concession to his superior argument yet? 'Cause I think you have not. 'zactly. But Cyber knows I'm a fan and use any pejoratives lovingly. You Not so much. Quote
Guest Peeves Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 I will indulge in a little more civility-effort, sure. Ah, come out an play. We have thick skins. Though some seem to have thick heads as well. Generally the thickness leans heads and posturing to the left. Quote
bleeding heart Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 'zactly. But Cyber knows I'm a fan and use any pejoratives lovingly. You Not so much. You were recently decrying "attacking the person," and are now embracing it lovingly. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington.

Guest Peeves Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Is a proof a proof? As in Canadian Whiskey? Or Rum? Or Cretienity? Quote

bleeding heart Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 My prerogative. I'm flexible that way. So my hypocrisy charge stands. And you agree with it! Beauty and comedy are self-generating phenomena. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington. All we had was Afghanistan to wave.

jbg Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 As in Canadian Whiskey? Or Rum? Or Cretienity?

I couldn't keep a straight face. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Jack Weber Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Yes indeed, the insults now are much more classy and erudite. That's better than some simpleton (and you know who you are...)calling you a "dirtbag" or an "idiot"? Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
