Poor Strk.
Here, let me help.
If I had attacked you personally, which I did not, I would have called you names or impugned your intelligence or both.
For example: "What a forking moron! What a stupid son-of-a-witch."
See, those are personal attacks, cleaned up for the BBS.
And I did deny attacking you personally.
Personal? Nah.
See that "Nah"? That's a negative. As in No, I didn't.
Also, I hope to be able to attend the con this year. If you're there, look me up. I'll tell you the same stuff to your face. And probably laugh in it too. Because your posing here on the BBS is laughable in the extreme; if you pose like that in person, I'd have to laugh then too.
What I did do is disagree with your entire premise and point out that you are eager to spend other people's money. Now, you may think that's a personal attack, but it isn't.
Lastly, I pay my taxes. Quite a lot of taxes as a matter of fact. Over the years, from the time I first worked until now I've been paying an ever higher percentage of what I made each year. I've learned, through personal example, that there is absolutely no end to the greed of other people when it comes to spending someone else's money. Oh, yeah.. it's always going to be "just this little bit more" and it's always for "a very good cause". But it never ends.
The reason it never ends? Because of people like you, chum. Because you have no compunctions about spending someone else's money, money YOU did nothing to earn.
You want to contribute more of your income to the nation? Feel free! Did you know you can give money to the Federal Government? Do it! Go for it! Spend YOUR money.
Oh.... wait........ I guess that isn't going to happen, is it?
