Subject: RE: Mudcat - changes in style and profile
I am not striving to change your opinion, Joe Offer. I put my points as directly and as honestly as I can. Take it or leave it. You don't strive to make me change my opinion of you either. Let's not be too arrogant about that. We have better ways of channelling our energies.
You're not sure who I was addressing? I was addressing the person whose post I was responding to. I'm a very straightforward and simple man, whatever my faults might be. Disingenuousness does not suit you. Avoid it is my advice.
Your 05.33 post is a shocking example of unjustified generalisation. Try replacing Brits and Americans with races of different colour. Or Jews vs Christians. Do have a little think before you post, Joe.
As for combative vs exchange of ideas, well I don't know how one exchanges ideas with a confirmed bigot such as Akenaton. I note your recent very gentle semi-rebuttal of his remarks. It doesn't work. In fact, it's counterproductive. He really does think he's in bed with you and SRS now. You give him succour when you shouldn't be giving him one inch. How lovely for you. You actually don't seem to know what is and what isn't "deleterious to Mudcat." We may not be the best tacticians at times, but we do at least know that much. Akenaton's bigotry, and he's not alone, is a cancer. You're feeding it. Then you shout at us for wanting it out. Shame.
