<<You're off on some trip snowblower. I never said a thing about Chavez.>>
I used Chavez as an example, BSB. It doesn't matter that you said anything about him or not. I could equally well have used Hitler, Stalin, Kim Jong Il, George W. Bush, Alexander the Great, Louis XIV, King George III or Mother Teresa in the example and made the exact same point.
<<You spend your time in here throwing around so many insults you have no idea what I believe about anything.>>
Actually, BSB, I have a pretty good idea what you believe about a lot of things. And I challenge you to find ONE insult that I "threw around" that was not a response to an insult directed at me. Don't waste your time, 99% of the insults I "throw around" are purely retaliatory in nature, and as far as the 1% that were not, well, I apologize to the recipient if I haven't already done so. I see you like to throw around a few insults yourself from time to time. What is the fucking point of looking back and digging for grudges to hold against one another? If somebody is truly not worth the effort, I just stop responding to them, as I've done in a few cases. Believe me, it's no great loss but in your case for the time being, I think I can make the effort to ignore the insult and continue the exchange of ideas. I have a very good idea where you're coming from. You really should make the effort to see where I'm coming from. I'm right and you are wrong, and you know it.
<<I repeat. You're nothing but an insult machine. >>
Repeat it all you like. I don't insult anyone who hasn't insulted me first and now I'm not even going to insult them. You don't seem to realize that the "insult machine" isn't exactly pushing apple pie, mum and the flag here, consequently it's always attracted more than its fair share of insults and abuse in the first place. What is a pitching machine when it's not being fed any balls?
