I am trying to convince Steve that there are rules to this forum which are a good idea that we all should learn and abide by.
Hows about a rule that says that trying to smear people groundlessly with nasty slurs is approx. ten times worse than "calling you a mocking name"? Sticks and stones...? You are a hypocrite, aren't you? <<<
Please show me this rule.
In the mean time...
"You are a hypocrite, aren't you?"
If you click on the "membership" link you will find this rule.
"You are free to be anything you want EXCEPT unkind, impolite, argumentative, snooty, or either FOR or AGAINST that of-what-we-do-not-speak."
I think that calling me a hypocrite is unkind and impolite. It is also inviting an argument on whether I am one or not and also argumentative on the grounds that it is meant to provoke me into argument through anger.
You have a unique talent to be able to break so many rules so thoroughly with so few words. You also have a talent for making things up and then arrogantly presenting the things you have made up as things we should have known already. This is not a method conducive to clear and reasoned communication.
Please do not do this in future.
Thank you for your cooperation.
