juju Cobra,
I don't know when Mousethief decided that Mav's brain was best left unregarded, but for me it was when he accused me of probably getting ready to start resorting to name calling (which I don't think I've done in this thread), immediately after calling me a fascist. When I called his attention to this anomaly, he said he didn't see anything strange about the logic of it. I'm not sure why he decided I am a fascist --I've only actually taken two positions in this thread: that people who are willing to kill other people shouldn't call themselves pro-life, and that training and licensing gun owners might be a good idea. Mav's ability to draw the conclusion that I am a fascist based on these positions does not give me much desire to know more about how his mind works.

And that was what Mousethief was saying: it's a soup best left unstirred. He was not saying that anyone was stupid. You drew the conclusion that he was saying that all on your own, took him to taksk for it, and then accused him of being stupid. I'll ask you the same question I asked Mav: Doesn't this juxtaposition strike you as a bit odd?
