> [DaveH wrote another:] subtle justification for liars lying based
..you really don't give a flip about any who disagree with you
Currently, there is some discussion regarding ad-hominen attacks. Much more of it is used that some seem to believe. It seems to me that your comments above are just that. "Liar" is a word that places us into two opposing enemy camps and pretty much spells the end to any real exchange. I know on the rare occasion when I go ad hominen, it is out of that very conclusion -- that we are not on the same page and have little to nothing in common regarding whatever the present discussion might be.
I seriously do not see you as ignorant. You write as one having something to say. I enjoy your opposng views. The wise guy stuff does appear to be beneath your abilities. I am one who is actually very accomplished at slamming the other guy. And I enjoy it, I must admit. So I have asked one in this list to be my coach in that matter and when I get a little too cute, he/she will give me a caution. That is how I try to deal with it. The fact that I enjoy "one-upping" is no reason to bring that practice into this list. Anyway, that is my take on that.
