I've never denied being personal. I've claimed to have not "attacked" you. I've not said things to you with malevolence aimed at hurting you. Maybe I hurt you? Maybe I didn't? It wasn't my intent, if I did. My intent was, however, to get you to see some of the things you do here, as it is a HUGE fucking motivator why I've done what I've done. It's not just that you have a dissenting opinion...
Many of your ideas just plain stink, giving you very little rational ground on which to stand for support. Deep down, you probably know it too. Putting those ideas forward to be critically examined by others is to risk having those ideas subject to abject failure. Having ones world view decimated before their eyes is temporarily
devastating. I know, because it's happened to me a
couple times. You get over it and your world view becomes bullet proof. Mine's not there yet, but it's gotten stronger with each new incarnation.
To avoid the risk of having your views fail in a public forum, you engage in intellectually dishonest behavior, you dissemble, deflect and engage in the very behaviors you accuse others of doing. In this way, it's easy to convince oneself that the argument against their views are nothing more than personal attacks. You are basically protecting your ideas with your own person rather than looking at them critically.
To close, I'll just finish with this. You cannot refer to someone using the word
hypocrisy and not be "personal." By definition it is "you don't do what you tell me to do." Do a word count of the thread. You use the word more than anyone else in the thread. Further, you were the first to bring the word hypocrisy, hypocrite, hypocritical into play. Your admission to "mocking" me was just a bonus.

So, if you want to get into the ring and throw punches, don't expect to not get your nose bloodied once in a while. So it's personal. I've been nothing but civil to you.
