I've been a little hard on the guy. For quite some time he sounded like a troll that used to knock around these parts.

His posts of the past two days however have altered my opinion somewhat. While I still generally disagree with some of his points or positions, his recent posts have been well thought out, well reasoned, clearly expressed and provocative.

Since I pride myself on not being a hypocrite and never being too big to say that I was wrong I hereby offer my sincerest apology to L'enfanTerrible.

Now let's get back to bickering about whatever is the issue du'jour.

Thank you, those are kind words. I'm guilty too of making some presumptions about the people on the board, but lately I've found it's easier and more productive to just respect everybody no matter what their views.

Moron King of all Moron Kings?! I'm just glad I can take a leadership role

I promised myself I wouldn't cry.

Unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interresting, because you can watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it"

Yeah I don't.

Just because he has started all his recent posts with, "Gee Mrs. Clever that was a great post thanks for contributing" does not mean they are more intelligent.
His regurgitation of googled facts still don't hold much water with me. Most of his comments are overly simplistic and not well thought out. His solutions to all situations may be idealistic but not based in the reality of the world we live in.
He has chilled out: although he still sends the occasional hate-mail private messages. Completely tolerable in recent days though, thanks to either his recent acquisition of pot or xanax.

Jeez, you tell a guy to go f�ck himself once...

btw, showing respect for people who also respect you and contribute intelligently to your discussion should not be mocked. I should bump that thread so you can see what a real discussion looks like.

Still making fun of the mentally ill, eh Doctor Dubious?

[edit: " His regurgitation of googled facts still don't hold much water with me." --- now that's ironic.]
