USHilDvl,

Your response is refreshing and I look forward to reading more of your posts. Cheers.

I'm actually one of the original Americans - British to be exact.

Actually a bit of Crusade to clean things out in Urope wouldn't be that bad would it?

Dont be a hater.
Censorship is just communication by subtraction

Welcome to the BBS, USHilDvl. That's quite an openning statement. Something tells me you'd like to have it both ways, but I'm a cynical bastard, so fahgedaboudit.

I'm game... Sure. Lets hold everyone to the same standard then, shall we?

When the.... What was the word you used?..... "intelligentsia".... goes out of bounds, I'll call them on it.

And when the, I guess, non-intelligentsia...... goes out of bounds, then you call them on it.

How's about that, partner?

Yeah, didn't think so.

And what do you mean by "intelligentsia" anyways?

God I hope I'm wrong about you.

Dowd:  LOL...'original Americans'!  That's funny...and true in it's way!   Sir

Nash:  ???  

'...have it both ways...'  Have what?

'Hold everyone to the same standard'...seems reasonable.  I try to, at least.  But, what are you talking about in this context?

'Partner'?...I don't think so.

'Yea, I didn't think so'....again, what are you talking about?

As for the word intelligentsia...look it up.

..and finally...You don't know me well enough to be wrong about me.  Besides, right or wrong...what difference could it possible make to you?

My comments were specific to a person and an incident.  An unreasonable and nasty personal attack on someone who endeavors to have a reasonable discussion.  How does this either include or offend you?  (the question is rhetorical, btw).

Time for a crusade!

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Meanwhile, your first entry into this thread is:

"deSelys... What planet are you from? Do you actually understand the meaning of the words you're using?

How could you possibly derive your poorly-informed opinions of Seagoon based on what he posted? It's like you're responding to something else entirely.

While not always in complete agreement, and sharing Hangtime's healthy distrust of Judeo-Christian rhetoric, I find Seagoon to at least be informed, well-spoken and reasonable."

So wait a sec.....

I'm not supposed to mess with you 'cuz it doesn't involve me? Is that right? Then please point out to me anywhere here where the preceding conversations involved you.

They didn't, and you still got involved, and then I got involved.

That's sorta how a BBS works.

And when I said initially that I got the sense that you'd like to have it both ways..... this is exactly what I was talking about.

I know what it means.

It's not what I asked:

"And what do you mean by "intelligentsia" anyways?"
