Bill D. Being rude to guys like you is just plain fun because you take it all so seriously and it makes it all so easy to laugh at you for that reason.

As long as you brought my name up in this thread, pal.

wizzy you started off your nice set of answers with your trademark 'what you really mean is this', snide put down

I sure didn't feel or mean to be snide, but it appears you chose either to take it that way or to characterize it that way to be rude yourself. I would disagree that snideness is a trademark of mine... the last time I was called that, the next poster after the complaint spoke in assurance that I am anything but.

I asked a question (Secucrats, wouldn't it be?) and then made the point that you have put two things in opposition that rarely meet either in opposition or agreement.

On balance, I think considering the offers that have been made to me to get upset in this thread, I've responded more than civilly. Perhaps you might address the question I raised?

wizzy I have no idea what question you raised. I was temporarily blinded by your poorly disguised arrogance, but then I always am, everytime I see your name I think 'Oh shit, there goes the old eyesight for a while.'

You have a habit of starting so many replies, correcting what the previous poster had said, to the point that you are telling them what they meant to say? You don't know what they meant to say, and more often than not the original poster tells you that you have misinterpreted them, but does it stop you doing it? Does it buggery.

No doubt you'll now condescend to tell me what I think I mean. Please ignore me as I am a guest and not worthy of your comment.

It's that secucrats thing that's got me buggered.

wizzy I have no idea what question you raised.

I can see that. I've asked it twice, now. Your own decision to be upset before even reading my post seems to cloud your thinking unnecessarily; you appear to be unable to define your terms and prefer flinging buzzwords about, and attacking me, instead. You seem to think any effort on my part to engage your thinking is an effort to put you down.... it's an unwarranted assumption.

Guest 7:02: How about 'Ex-Prat'? Has a nice ring to it.

You guys might keep in mind that your attitude and opinions are not all that important to us. Once in awhile Guest says something meaningful, something that compels thought, and that is very nice. (You may notice that when that happens, the Mudcat still implores you to take a name, even if a temporary one, because they honor the subject you raised or the response you made- and because they want to explore the thought further- surely that is a good feeling?)

But when you are just guest one, guest two, guest three, guest ad infinitum, you tend to blur into a Mudpuddle that you are splashing in. Which may be fun for you but is just mud to us. imo

A strange burst of honesty, to such unsocial purposes allowing your ownership, that once would cause shame and denial for their evil. A master among baiters, and an old gloat for the f**king. Take what you can in satisfaction from it, puerile Nameless One, as no-one else will give you any.

Dr. Heathcliffcrat "Cliffcrat" Huxtable was an OBGYN (obstetrician/gynecologist), and his wife Claircrat was a successful attorney. They had five children: Sondracrat, Denisecrat, Theocrat, Vanessacrat and Rudycrat.

Back to basics: BEAT THEOCRATS!

Let me just note that plenty of believers ~ church members as well as unaffiliated individuals ~ oppose the fundamentalist takeover of public dialog and government every bit as strongly as unbelievers.

All it requires is a bit of intelligence.
