You give me a bit of a problem renew as I am generally very reluctant to make generalised criticisms of people I haven't met but you do come over as a bigoted and rather ignorant child who clearly has little idea about grammar, history, human nature and psychology but I could be wrong. It could be that you simply dash off a reply whilst drunk or otherwise temporarily impaired.

People did not generally know what effect it had upon judgement. For example, it is not many years since it was perfectly normal, the social convention even, to offer visiting car drivers 'one for the road' before they left. Whilst the good effects of alcohol have indeed been long know, the negative effects were less widely recognised.
Quote:You really assume a lot about me, however I do have a wonderful vivid imagination and yes at times I need it to work over time, quite wonderful at times, you should try it, great things have come about with vivid imagination.Part of your problem is that you often do not understand what has been written and you therefore try to make a joke about it to cover up. I generously called it your 'vivid imagination' but in reality it is just your ignorance being exposed. The sad thing is, you probably have no idea just how unpleasant some of your ideas make you appear. Try talking to friends about your bigotry, if you have any friends.
Quote:Then since you do not have any knowledge on the matter then perhaps you should not give a opinion.Yet another example of you failing to understand what has been written. I have given no opinions on 'the matter' renew and neither have you.
Quote:You honestly could not be more wrong renew. Your instinct to suppress free speech is quite disturbing and..... "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" (Evelyn Beatrice Hall). Just because you are a bigot, that does not mean that other people are and think like you. My bet is that the vast majority of people on this forum stand up firmly for free speech and would entirely agree with my statement and Evelyn's statement (often mis-attributed to Voltaire).(February 26, 2012 at 5:18 am)Aardverk Wrote: I don't believe in silencing anyone just because I disagree with them or dislike them.I am most cofident this is not true, however, it is your own, do what you will.
Quote: A belief is a thought, and to deter anyone from their thoughts is incomprehensive, there are ones who understanding when knowledge is being handed out, they are the same ones that know this man was full of nothing useful or educational. Should I assume you did?No, I still don't understand it. Maybe it doesn't say what you think it says. Try a spell checker and a grammar checker.
Quote:Oh, I see. So the solid line means you are directing a post to another, without defing who the other is, or simply a generic post. My apologies, I took it as part of the generic post that you wrote to me.Your words have a whiff of sarcasm but the bizarre grammar makes it difficult for me to be sure. I'm not certain that you understand even now but keep your eyes open around the forum and you will see it happening lots of times.
A sensible man should not demand of me, or hope that when we mention a subject, we shall make a complete exposition of it. - Maimonides
