As you are doubtless perfectly well aware, he does not believe
anything of the sort, he is merely trying to find ways of attacking
me, or of gaining support for his nonsense, and that is all he can
come up with.

No, I am not perfectly aware of Ken's motives as I am no mind reader. The
fact that you firmly believe that to be his motive smells very strongly of
paranoia.

Quite remarkable that you consider Fortenberry and LaCourse´s actions
"normal" and mine to be a sign of mental imbalance. You think it´s
normal for people to castigate others in this manner? Call somebody a
Nazi, a homo, and a host of other things? Other people´s wives and
daughters ****s? A whole list of other misdeeds far too numerous to
mention?

Because if you do, you are deranged.

I never said nor do I believe that many of their actions are "normal". Many
of them are certainly distasteful, but for the most part they do not have
the sense of paranoia, denial of the obvious, and absurd display of
irrationality that many of your posts do.

He does not care about gays either, as if he did he would not use
homosexuality as an insult. The same applies to racism and nazis. The
man is a disgraceful ****bag with a severe inferiority complex. He
MUST have his views accepted, no matter what, and he will go to any
lengths to try and ensure that.

While I have a certain level of agreement with your first sentance, the last
sentance applies to you at least as strongly as it does to him.

I am not in the least mentally imbalanced. I am merely taking steps to
defend myself, and others. When you are the butt of such attacks, then
you might just possibly obtain a different perspective on the matter.
Maintaining that I am mentally imbalanced, in order to make a joke,
regardless of the effect it might have on me, is the action of an
unprincipled ****. If you truly believe I am mentally unbalanced, and
even more so if you do not. It also supports Fortenberry in his
endeavours, the man is an emotional vamnpire who feeds on just such
crap, and it encourages him to continue.

I like most people have indeed been the butt of such attacks, and I, like
most "normal" people simply consider the source and let the insults slide
off.
I didn't maintain that you are mentally imbalanced to make a joke. I used
the fact that Ken beleives you to be mentally imbalanced (as I do) yet
continues to pester you to point out his hypocracy - and as the basis of a
joke.
Failing to consider what impact my incorporating your mental imbalance into
a joke may have on you may say something about my lack of sensitivity and my
belief that the mentally imbalanced are no more worthy of consideration than
anyone else, but it has nothing to do with my principles or whether or not I
am a ****.

Would you care to tell me who "many of us" are? Indeed, can you find
anybody apart from the ******s involved in this crap, who will support
you in your claims that I am mentally imbalanced? Because if you can
´t you are not only an unprincipled ****, but a liar to boot.

I have shown this thread to numerous people who you have never heard of, and
all of whom don't participate in newsgroups and obviously wouldn't want
their names spread on a newsgroup - their unanimous response is along the
lines of "What agroup of nutcases, especially Mike."

I could go on, but there would not be much point would there?

Yet you do for three more paragraphs.

Even if this whole collection of individuals, ( it´s not a group as
such) maintains that I am completely insanse, that does not make it
so. Even if the whole lot were to oppose me, it would also make no
difference, for the simple reason that I am right, I am within my
rights, and it is a matter of principle. Unlike you, I have some.

Would you care to list them. "Because if you can´t you are not only an
unprincipled ****, but a liar to boot."

It does not really matter all that much what you believe or don´t
believe, it does not affect me or my actions There is also absolutely
nothing you can do about it. I will continue to defend myself, and I
don´t much care what you do. I merely thought it prudent to point out
what I think of you, as a result of your actions, and to paraphrase
something I heard recently "( even knowing that it will [most likely]
have no positive impact)".

Obviously there was no effect on your actions other than to "force" you to
compose a 539 word response.

You will of course note that I have not called you any silly names,
referred to your family or antecedents, or castigated you in any way.
I merely addressed the matter at hand, in a perfectly sane and civil
fashion, in direct reply to a post you addressed to me.

I guess "unprincipled ****" doesn't count.

Although I have no belief that the mentally imbalanced deserve any special
consideration, I will try to refrain from any further infliction of distress
on you that you don't care about nor feel the need to address with long
rambling responses. It's becoming too much like pulling the legs off a fly.
