This has to be one of the oddest exchanges in this newsgroup.
I'm used to people with completely irrational ideas who simply
will not shut up, even in the face of irrefutable logic and convincing
evidence. (Their name is legion. Pick your favorite.) You, on the
other hand, have a reasoned and reasonable position (although it's
one I disagree with), but every time you meet any opposition, you
admit defeat and clear the field.
Somehow we are working from completely different reality
frameworks. I would have to reread your post to be sure,
but as far as I could tell you didn't even address a single one
of my points,
I'm not sure what "reality frameworks" are, but I gave you three
reasons why I don't think Bob Kolker's lunatic posts deserve the
treatment you prescribe. You gave counter-arguments, each of
which I answered in my inimitable friendly yet vituperative manner.
For instance, you say Bob is dangerous; I say that a Jewish advocate
of genocide so undercuts his own case that he's not. Feel free to say
that you disagree with my argument but not that I'm unresponsive.
Not that it matters, I am definitely not coming back on this.
Well, it certainly doesn't matter to me, but before you go, allow me
to make an observation. I don't think this thread has anything to do
with Bob Kolker, genocide, ostracism, or my reaction to any of those.
This is all about you. There's something about Bob's brand of
intransigent yammering that roils you, and there's something about
your failure to galvanize others to action that has aggravated your
confusion. The problem is that you're posting to talk.origins but
you act as though you're posted to Srebrenica.
Oh, also, what is it that you do? From the context, I think
I can guess, but my accuracy rate when guessing is
close to zero, so safer to ask.
I make it a rule not to post very much about my personal history.
On topic, I'm either informed or ignorant, logical or irrational, and
whichever obtains is independent of my religious affiliation, politics,
or career. Off topic, these things matter even less.
I suppose that an astute reader of my posts (and I would be astounded
were there anyone so bored) could figure out a couple of places that
I've gone to school, my age within five years, and my general
politics. But I think tolerating my rudeness as you have entitles you
to an answer. I'll tell you what. Post your guess from the context,
and I'll tell you yes or no.
