I do not personally insult you, or go on and on about your "intellectual dishonesty" and how I hold you in contempt. That is emoting, not reasoning. It is not "punching holes" in my inconsistencies. It is just bad behavior.
Yes, you do. You do it in almost every post. No one is buying your innocent routine, no one.
Quote:Recognizing that I do not return insults, you appear to have shifted tack now, addressing not me, specifically, but others like me.
I am addressing you, and others like you. By addressing others who exhibit your behavior I am not exempting you.
Quote:It is from my "ilk" that you receive personal insults. (Those, somewhere, who have "castigated the US while lauding Castro" or claimed liking a facebook page constituted membership in ISIS.) So you can claim they said or did something and then hold me accountable because you've grouped me with them. I am pretty sure the moderators will shut the thread down if that continues.
I just want you to know, I already bought you a big wooden cross for Christmas, so every time you feel like playing the martyr, like right now, you can climb up and nail yourself to it.

Quote: Then come back and we can discuss sensibly the question of whether people who oppose fascists are really fascists too, and whether collapsing these opposites into the same undermines the ground for any sensible ethics. These are interesting and valuable questions worth pursuing.
Why would we discuss it further? You have given your opinion. You don't mind politically motivated violence as long as the targets of said violence are acceptable to you. You have no problem with a public official liking the page of an extremist, violent organization. You have no problem with the same public official being friends with one of the leaders of said organization. You don't mind the David Dukes of the world, as long as your version of David Duke hates the people you hate. You argue in circles and your arguments are stale.
