I was being serious. The line which I was referring to (the one you
snipped) was unintelligible to me, and from your unconventional use
of grammar and your many spelling errors I thought that perhaps
American English wasn't your native language.

It was an insult
People who use insults and name calling in their arguments are insecure
and
rely on such tactics to cover over their lack of a good argument. They
only
make fools of themselves and hurt their own cause.

Your first post in this thread:
"Oh my god! he's is trying to turn old stuff into money and he is
talking
about it on usegroups. Tie him to a stake and burn him....
Even worse, some young kid interested in electronics might read his
post and
end up getting a really good deal on some books. We can't have kids
reading
books, where might that lead? The dam kid might build something.
Oh ****!
He might grow up and get a job...
Oh my god, You better just burn those books..."
Certainly doesn't sound like reasoned criticism to me. It is, in
fact an insult bound in sarcasm, which is exactly what you're saying
I shouldn't be doing, you hypocrite, and since you started with the
insults, as far as I'm concerned, it's open season on you.
---
Sounds to me like that's what _you're_ trying to do by saying that
what I'm doing is wrong and I should stop.
Nor Sir, You do have every right to speak your mind. I only thought
that
you over reacted
---
I see. I have the right to speak my mind as long as I don't
overreact, according to you? Whose side were you on in all those
battles you fought, anyway? Certainly not mine...
---
My point was that I did not belive this gentleman's post rose to the
level
of SPAM and that he did not deserve such a abrasive response. I am
tired
of
this debate. I find myself wanting to be impolite and disrespectful.
I'll
will leave that to you. Your very good at it.
---
Well, I see you left a parting slap, which _certainly_ isn't a
polite thing for someone who professes to be polite to do.

Even a weak attempt to insult anybody's service to there country is beyond
reproach. Pathetic.
---
Now _that's_ funny! I think what you meant to say was
"reprehensible" instead of "beyond reproach". Think about it.
In any case, I wasn't insulting your service and I apologize if you
took it that way. What I was trying to do was make the point that
if you fought for free speech and then want to deny me mine because
you don't like the way I write, you're on the same track as those
you fought against.

No Sir, You have an absolute right to speak you mind, as I said before.
However, we must all keep in mind that free speech comes with a
responsibilty. I don't care if you stop or if you continue, I only wish
you would choose your words with a little respect.
It certainly seems that you are not an uneducated man. Why do you take such
pleasure in putting others down?
BTW, Apology appreciated.
