That is very funny.

I'm not surprised you find logic and reasoning "funny."


That, of course, doesn't work either if one clings to 'opinions'
regardless of logic or reasoning.

Sir, you supply *nothing* to these discussions except the same old
tired rhetoric, time after time, post after post.


Without ever snipping anything.

Unlike you who snip everything out of context in order to misrepresent what
was said and this message is an excellent example as you, just below, try
to turn this into you favorite hair on fire bugaboo, Microsoft, when the
topic under discussion was Canada/U.S. oil company negotiations.

And, of course, in the best yellow journalism character assassination
attempt style you snipped everything I said in reply.

You "seem" as though you don't live in the real world at all. All
you ever offer the other side of a discussion are your points of
view while trying to the discredit the other party with
accusations of paranoia, flawed logic, being a whiner, irrational,
conspiracy buff and so on and so on. You take a totally off-hand
discussion of views, on a given subject, and turn it into a
personal thing where you try to discredit a point of view with
personal slurs.


Definitely, at least when it comes to his defense of Microsoft.

If the truth is a 'defense' then so be it.
