    I do not know whether you took the porn number to be of a personal insult to you as it was not meant to make others think that you partake in porn. It was to typify unqualified outrage...a line used much here especially among comedians.

    I rarely get really personal here, sometimes I may push buttons to get reactions and uncover motives, but even to those I do I usually befriend at one time or another in separate arguments that we find like principle. I do sometimes belittle ones arguments but not their families. The arguments you put forth you are accontable for, the reciprocal you speak of comes to play here, post like a child, get told to grown up. Make a nutjob conspiracy theory, you may get called a nutjob thats just human nature and believe it or not that is with restraint.

    I'm not sure I know or want to know what I uncovered in you. I will note for your benefit and no doubt your pleasure that the reason I've been able to post more recently these last few days is because I brought a member of my family into my house as opposed to her sitting in a Hospice. The off topic arena has been a release as being away from academia and my other work during this time I need exercise of the brain. I do this when she is sleeping or other family isn't here paying their respects prior to the impending departure.

    No doubt tribesman will come up with some irrelevant U.N. resolution on mom jokes with his usually spewage in hopes that barking loud enough he'll find like ideologs to mate with, but I can take his insults, I can forgive him that.

    Maybe its becuase we are approaching days instead of weeks, but I find your blind attacks on what you do not know or can even take into account as a possibility prior to your post as particularly troubling.
    Don't hit below the belt with misquoting me and putting swear words in my mouth. As a Nutjob one of my favourite movies naturally is the Nutty Professor, although I admit to preferring the original movie to that of Eddies'... yesteryears movies were so much better... the old times are always better.

    If you don't like someone responding in kind to a verbal insult, methinks that you shouldn't be the kind supporting torture as you definitely won't like having that responded in kind.

    I don't think I reciprocated... I think I went several steps worse, all apologies to your mum. That shouldn't have been done and I'll try and be more creative and kind in future in debating the merits of torture.

    I never misquoted you.

    So you can't display any decency in a discussion about something that you disagree with? How wonderfully intolerant of you. Its that type academic honesty which has obviously worked wonders in your quest for knowledge.

    I believe this was the offending misquotation.

    I believed as has been done numerous times around the forums that making a quote attributed to somebody and then labeling it as "Fixed" meant that it was edited by the poster and not of original content from the quoted. I did more than adjust a phone number I changed the entire second line. If its the slur you have a problem with I thought I obviously owned that as I wrote it. If it remains ambiguous, I'll state again that this was of my writing, hence the word "fixed". I could have put anything there, but figured "Slut" was of easy and universal recognition with the porn industry.

    This had been my previous experience with you.

    What apology, all I saw were parting shots including one half masked in apology.

    Well if you want to be taken seriously those parting shots in the veiled apology would not have taken place, nor would this have found its way into the discussion. This dishonesty even in apology made me question your academic honesty, that of the exercise of the academic such as our discussions and debates here in the pursuit of understanding, not of an academic career or accumulation of pedigree.

    I could see how what I wrote could be taken as such, but this was not the case and if truly taken as such I offer apologies for the misunderstanding.

    You misquoted me when you put an adjusted phone number with a slur in it and attributed it to me.

    I don't think being rude is the the standard I wish to live by. My actions were pathetic and boorish. Normally I try and be decent with people who have an opposing point of view. That is why I have already apologised once for my actions. My apologies again that I was mean to your and your kin in responding to the mis-represented quotation.

    As for my academic career you can slur it as much as you wish if it will make you feel better as a fellow human being.
