You've been busted again.

It's funny, people *try* to offend you, and it slides off you like the
truth off the brain of a republican. Then I make some observations
that were in *no way* meant to offend, and you get all worked up and
feel insulted.

Let's review the facts, again:

1. You claimed that you NEVER started an off topic thread.

2. This claim struck me as absolutely ludicrous, and I stated as such.

3. You challenged me to point to a SINGLE off-topic thread that you
started.

4. The next day, you started another off-topic thread, and I made note
of it.

5. You call me busted.

I don't dislike you, although I disagree with your political views and
just about every other view you have. But you sure are one twisted up
dude when it comes to reason and logic.

That's not the way I remembered it.

I said "I NEVER start off-topic threads (well, maybe once or twice, but they
were clearly marked..."

Against which you claimed I started six per day.

I then challenged you to find one, just one.

You were unable, or unwilling, to do so.

You then modified your claim slightly to "It *seems* to me that every thread
you start has nothing to do with home repair... I *can* do the research..."

I challenged you to substantiate that belief; you again demurred, ultimately
claiming it was "a silly waste of time," then going on to rant about
"endless series of posts on HOAs (one) and "firearms posts are another broad
category" (two).

In brief, you claimed:
* I post six OT posts per day, but you declined to provide even one
* Many of my posts have little or nothing to do with DIY, but you declined
to provide one example
* I posted endless comments about HOAs, but there was only one
* A "broad category" of my posts had to do with firearms, but there were
only two

I am offended, outraged, indignant, and almost broken in mind and spirit
over your insenstive and unrepentant aspersions.

Whether you MEANT to offend is irrelevant; as a liberal (or at least a
non-conservative), you should have, as your first priority, conforming your
actions so as not to offend the more sensitive members of society and, when
you fall short in these endeavors, to publicly flog yourself unmercifully
without end or relief.

Contrition. It's the politically correct thing to do.




Hey, you gotta do like I do. Consider the source.
Smitty cannot offend.
All he can do is argue. Not only is he never wrong, he's always right.
You cannot convince him with facts because his mind is already made
up. His experience is the only valid experience - If he has not seen
it (or even recognized it when he has seen it), it cannot be so.

Unlike Smitty I reserve the right to become smarter.
There is an old saying,

The wise man learns from other men's mistakes,
The average man learns from his own mistakes,
The fool never learns, because he never makes mistakes.

and

He who never makes mistakes has never accomplished anything of worth.


I know I'll get feedback from Smitty, but so what.
