Chicken or the egg, Donny? Which came first?
There have been harsh words from both sides ever since the war
started.
But the KEY FACT which your side always tries to sweep under the
rug is that your side was waging a campaign of verbal abuse towards
me WELL BEFORE I ever responded in kind.
In fact I gave several warnings, WELL BEFORE I joined the fray, that I
would counterattack any personal abuse (attacks) directed at me.
It's called SELF DEFENCE, Donny. Self defence, in the face of
unjust personal attack, is the one valid reason, in my book, for
waging war in a newsgroup.
You disingenuous "reasoning" always overlooks the FACT that
until you lost the war which killed the newsgroup, Donny, I was
COUNTER-ATTACKING. i.e. I was RESPONDING TO the
unjust personal attacks coming form YOUR side.
And what was this war all about? It was a POLITCAL war, waged by
a gang of faux "patriots", aimed at personally attacking, vilifying,
and libelling someone who expressed views critical of US foreign
policy (and the bullshit that war is generally).
So, in a nutshell, Buttimore, you're still peddling bullshit and still
trying to shift the blame onto me so that you don't have to
acknowledge the fact that you supported, egged-on, and defended
a bunch of political cyber-bullies who waged A POLITICAL WAR
that killed the newsgroup.
Even in this latest post of yours you personally attack me with
abusive rudeness because I had the temertiy to point out the
following:
----------------------------------------------
It's been my experience that the police are more interested in
defending "The Establishment" than they are in defending the freedom
of speech of those who wish to challenge it. In other words, the
police are the paid bullies of "The Establishment".
---------------------------------------------
In other words, your response to my expressing an oft expressed
opinion about the police is to hurl personal abuse at me.
That is EXACTLY the type of response which started, and continually
fuelled, the war which killed the newsgroup, Donny. Own it !!!
To break it down for you, Donny, the war which killed the newsgroup
was a war of words wherein one side (your side) said "If you express
views we(*) do not like, we will wage a war of personal abuse against
you." The other side (me) said "I utterly reject your attempts to
intimidate and silence me with personal abuse. BRING IT ON !!! "
(*) And who were the "we" who decided it was their right to bully
people who expresssed views they did not agree with? Why, surprise,
surprise, it was a mere half dozen or so American "patriots" and a
couple of their silly little sycophants.
In fact, for the most part, the (unjust) war against me was waged by
just three people: BobCopterSix, BasilBrush (and we all know who that
was), and YOU !!! So, for the most part, it was YOU GUYS who waged
the POLITICAL WAR of bullying and abuse which killed the newsgroup.
Own it, Buttsie. The truth can set you free. ;-)
