". . . at least you stated them, without your usual name calling. . . ."

Sweet Aunt Fanny!! THAT from YOU!???

"On Afghanistan, whether we belong to an alliance or not, we still have to go to Congress. . . ."

DO buy a world atlas and study it. That was LIBYA I was talking about.

"Then you might consider stopping your relentless support of 'causes' that are found to be in error!"

Which causes are those, GfS? You don't know what causes I support, so what are you popping off about?

Neither bragging nor complaining, GfS. Just saying.

What "rose colored glasses" are those?

AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.

You see? There you go. Yapping safely behind the fence with nothing really to say other that how smart you are and what a hopeless ignoramus I am. And in your yapping, you're just repeating the same old stuff. Why should I waste my time trying to discuss things with you? You just try to twist everything into a put-down or an insult.

Okay. I'll walk off. And you can have the reassurance that your yapping has frightened me off.

I'll go and have a more intelligent conversation with my neighbor's little Yorkie.
