Last warning. Cut it out.

Cut what out ?

It seemed a perfectly reasoned rebuttal to being accused of something that was clearly not the case.

Are we now saying that you can't reply to a veiled attempt at character assasination by reasoned argument ?

Just because some died who was friend of another poster, doesn't change the events surrounding that accident.

This entire thread constitutes an attack on a class of which I am a member. I believe that violates your rules of engagement in and of itself.

Oh lord.

This thread was not an attack. It was about an article about liberal professors which many us promptly noted was common knowledge.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Yes. There is no 'defending' yourself on this site. The rules apply to everyone, period, no matter how you have been wronged, attacked, belittled etc.

In this case, John is using some of Dave's dead friends to win arguments; that falls squarely under posting inflammatory material specifically to provoke a negative response from someone. Dave is responding by getting mad and resurrecting the topic. I told them both to stop. Dave did.

You're smarter than that.

An expression that is literally correct, I'm pleased to say.

I see. But at what point does trying to rebut an argument, which is what this forum appears to exist for, and defending yourself conflict ?

As most of the posters here have strongly held beliefs, most interpret an attack upon their preconceptions as an attack upon them personally, and tend to frame rebuttals in a defensive mode.

This appears to be most prevalent when a poster such as John pokes people with the stick of logic it seems.

That said, you -rarely- see from 1st amendment advocates the type of vitriol typical of the type of person that frequently interpets the 2nd toward his own end. Nor should you! The 1st is pretty clearly written and doesn't have the vagueness of the 2nd that required a marginal Supreme Court interp in order to satisfy its advocates of the meaning of the phrase "A well regulated Militia . . . ".

There's nothing vague about the 2nd that can't be fixed by an understanding of English grammar. Unless, of course, you want there to be vagueness, and can't be bothered to read the Federalist Papers.

There has been a *lot* more Supreme Court activity around the 1st. Doesn't exactly support the notion that it was clearly written, even though it sure seems like it to me. I think both of them are brain dead obvious. Speech is good. Gun ownership is a right.

On a related note:

David Horowitz, a conservative activist who criticizes what he calls the leftist domination of college campuses was struck with a pie Wednesday night at Butler University... It was the second time in a week that a conservative lecturer was hit by a pie at an Indiana university. On March 30, William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, was attacked during a speech at Earlham College...

Full story

What happened to the "tolerance" that liberals preach to everyone else?

Dude, it's a pie. It's not like his abortion clinic was blown up. (So much for those tolerant "pro-life" Christians)

You want collective liberal mayhem, see what happens when that whack job Horowitz comes to Berkeley. He's one of the few visitors that reveals the yellow underbelly of what passes for the Free Speech Movement legacy.

Intolerance of opposing views is hardly an exclusively liberal trait my good fellow.

Do you read any of the other posts on SC ?

If the worst you have to deal with after years of right-wing bulb-headed shit-brickery is a cream pie in the face, you're getting off lightly.

Does that still ring true in your mind, after a three letter edit?

ps - you do know that such an act qualifies as assault, right?

Indeed I do. But if you're going to assault somneone, a banana cream pie is a good way to do it.

If we hold fast to that, then anyone we pie at a DZ could sue for assault too.

Thanks for proving my point....

I'm not entirely sure that I did. I just like to see people pied.

It's a completely non-partisan thing for me.

I would consider it an honor to bag Ward Churchill with a rhubarb pie......or maybe key lime without any sugar
