Mr. Arieson

I will make you a deal, Jubaji. You stop referring to me as "Moron" and "drooling idiot" and I will stop making assumptions about you. Do you realize you call me these names based simply on my opinions? Don't I have a right to my opinions? I think that you do, but you would convince more people if you left out the insults, which for whatever reason, you are strangely untouched for doing. Myself, I recieved an "infraction" recently for name calling and "personal attacks". This is behavior which you never seem to be censured for, and I want to know why. Let me explain something. Dick Hardman/Uke has never responded to me. Therefore, I am also highly suspicuous about HIM. As, it is obvious I agree on him with some things. Strange that he never addresses me in any replies.

But he brings up some good points about trolling, and manufactured identities, and multiple user names. I am a member of some other forums, and those that require membership dues, or no open access, or instant banning when logging in with a different name are mostly boring and the posts seem to never change much. There is not much action. Therefore, it is clear that there is some chicanery going on here, to stir up the pot, to create business.

All in all, perhaps there is nothing to any of it, but with the suspicious nature of some of these posts, including yours, I have my doubts as to what really is going on. Truth be told, it makes for a less then pleasant experience. You never really know who you are talking to, or what thier credentials are. So, If you are denying you have ever proclaimed yourself an expert, I will buy that and apologize for stating that you had said that.

But you in turn, if you want to be a bigger man then you appear to be, should also apologize for your name calling to me and to others. Do you realize that I am an American and I love my country? So much so that I joined the military first chance I got. I learned patriotism there, honor and a sense of duty as well. So I have opinions. So what? I am not entitled? or I deserve to be called a "drooling idiot"? Save that for draft -dodging hippy socialist pinkos. If you have read any of my posts you should damn well know that I am a highly conservative democrat, very much into family values, patriotism and strong defense of this country. As a vet, I am deeply insulted by your lack of respect and name calling. I don't deserve that.
