    I guess we are!

    Did you catch what Banquo said in the other thread? This is what makes the .Org such a bleedin good website.


    And Len, there is more to this site than freedom of speech.

    Switching virtues as you like, don't you?

    I'm not missing someone who had his nose high up enough to call a bunch of members "retards". I don't respect one who fails to show it.

    And also why should I favor him since he's your "buddy"? It is a Middle Eastern tradition where you defend your acquaintances at all terms whether they are wrong or right. Muliculturalism in effect, eh ?

    I always defended freedom of speech. I never defended personal attacks. No change there. No contradiction either.

    Ah sorry this should really have been a "they were all incredible entities that cosmic energy blessed upon us" ball.

    He calls us retards, that's superb intellectual P1nd4R-stylez. However when I repeat what I had told him when he was here once more, as a simple way to underline my thoughts about him, I'm going ad hominem.

    Sure, what a nice paladin party.

    I am feeling no respect for one who had made "collective" personal attacks.

    You made that perfectly clear, don't worry. You also made it perfctly clear that you couldn't care less about the feelings of other members.

    That's dishonourable. No further insult or innuendo can wipe out that taint.

    I'm done here.

    I value being more of a "man" rather than being a walking encyclopedic philosopher. I can't like one since you like him. Also "caring less about the feelings of other members" seems the exact way expected from someone as clever as you: "Look! he's so selfish and arrogant !". (AdrianII for Dummies)

    No wonder why you two like each other. "Intellectual vainity" at work. I've just been labeled by a superior.

    I'm done here.
    I hope we all are.

    And always fair and never says anything uncalled for. You have my respect Sir, even if we disagree at times.

    Left, Adrian has offered you some good advice and judging by your comments about Pindar, I'd take them before you prove the "retard" theory.

    I failed at searching the Backroom for that topic. It's been disallowed.

    But I remember a number of members reacting unpleasantly while Pindar the Übermensch never took his word back. Honorable indeed, so much to defend after years.

    It should be easy to find , try under "I used to be concieted but now I am just perfect" , there were several along those lines , or perhaps "there isn't a bushel big enough to hide my light" .

    Should I quote Tribesey's by adding a comment saying "That's honour speaking." underneath, I wonder.

    Um, no, I'd really avoid populism at all costs.
