Here's your problem, Dave. You cannot separate the politics from the
personal. You can't help yourself. You have to insult anyone who disagrees
with you radical right-wing politics.


For the record, it's clear Dave & I couldn't be more opposite politics-wise
I don't pull any punches when I disagree with his positions, and he isn't
shy about criticizing mine either; but he has never said a bad thing about
me personally, nor I him.

He's never called you a girly man? Lucky boy. :-)

Why shouldn't I still be here? Am I supposed to let your puerile insults
chase me away? Oooooo! Big bad Dave LaCourse hurt my little feelings!

It's the republican way. Rush, Rove the whole bunch. If you oppose
their idealogy your a target for smears. Hitler and Pol Pot would love
us.

Many an interlocutor with what turned out to be a murderous tyrant
throughout history could say the same.....and has. If we were all to
emulate your methodology we might never properly identify and classify any
of the butchers before they do their work. As it is, we fail all too often.

I credited it to you. Read, Wolfgang, read!

When have I smeared anyone except the two biggest assholes on roff -
Barnard and Wolfgang? Like Joe said, he and I are diametrically
opposed as far as politics are concerned, yet we have fished together,
shared meals together, and went out to eat with our families. The
same can be said for Jeff Miller, wayno, Stan Gula, Fortenberry, Peter
Charles, et al. In fact, Peter and his wife (who is even *more* to
the left than Peter) visit Joanne and me quite often, and we visit
their home in Ontario.

You don't know me, BJ. I'll guaratee that my voting record is much
more diverse than yours, and includes many Democrats.

You are correct of course; and I have no doubt that murderous tyrants
throughout history have had friends who were more than willing to
overlook, excuse, or apologize for their faults. I sure as hell don't
mean to get in the middle of a ****ing match or fight anyone else's
battles, because my position is difficult. I generally agree with
Steve's politics, but I consider Dave a friend. I wouldn't want Dave
to be President (nor do I consider him analogous to a murderous
tyrant), but I'd share a stream with him anytime. Despite our
polarized positions, I'm also certain we could enjoy a bottle of single
malt together while discussing politics without insulting or assaulting
each other.

The only point I meant to convey was an exception to Steve's blanket
assertion to Dave that, "You have to insult anyone who disagrees with
your radical right-wing politics." Steve & Dave can have at it all
they want as far as I'm concerned, so long as hyperbole doesn't pass
for fact.

Fair enough. Thus far we don't disagree.....except with regard to the
character of certain individuals.

And for this, I thank you........and wish you good luck.

You're right. I shouldn't have made that blanket statement.

I suppose that LaCourse throwing stupid insults at Wolfgang makes sense
because Wolfgang is at least as insulting. You might have noticed,
however, that I haven't been insulting LaCourse (aside from one "girly
man" reference that was supposed to be ironic).

As I said, it doesn't bother me, because I think it says more about him
than it does about me. What bothers me is when he just makes **** up
(like the stuff about McCain's, and Cleland's, and Kerry's war records)
and when he refuses to acknowledge facts (like the Bush administration's
disgraceful failure to respond after hurricane Katrina).
