And I find Twang's arguments lucid and compelling...
all Hobs has is argumentum ad assertum and ad hominem.

It's irony-laden statements like this that put Mr. Cowell into my
killfile.
Twang can rarely get through a paragraph without childish name-calling,
and
as often as not his arguments boil down to, 'Because I say so.' If that
is
lucid and compelling then my dictionary must need updating.

And this, from Hobbes in the White Bitches thread:

<Hobbes@spnb&s.com> wrote:
Unlike
the semiliterate black population that liberals so fulsomely praise
as "well-spoken" one really must learn the language to speak
well and express complex thoughts and emotions.

Could that be just a slip of phrasing--in the middle of his claim to
proficiency with language and complex expression? That would be
retarded in itself, but I don't think it left much room for
interpretation. So I wouldn't exactly hold Hobbes up as a paragon of
moral virtue.

I found that an oddly disturbing phrase myself, but then I was responding
to
a different post in a different thread. And I wasn't aware that I was
holding up anyone as a paragon of anything, I merely contrasted one
poster's
well-spoken and reasoned argument in one thread with the juvenile
potty-mouth ranting of another.

I've read a lot of Twang's posts. He posts some compelling arguments,
and no matter who on aga agrees with his views, he's no bigot.

Perhaps he has posted such arguments and I've just missed them, I had him
in
the killfile for some time as I typically found his remarks ill-conceived
and pointlessly insulting; with a new computer it's apparently necessary
to
rebuild the killfile.

Interesting that Twang and Cowell are in your killfile, yet the right-wing
nutjobs who post substantially more bile- and hate-filled nonsense
apparently escape.
