Just observing. You can actually come across as a reasonable person once in a while. The problem is that when someone calls you on something, instead of answering in a reasonable manner, you get into the personal attacks. I think your exchange with Scott is a good example. You stated that 4 blocks is a minimum distance for the mosque. Scott asked why 4 blocks and not three. Instead of replying with a reasoned response you began with the personal attacks on him. The end result is that a lot more hysteria was generated on your part. If you had explained why 4 blocks was reasonable all that sturm and drang would not have been needed. No other insults would have been generated either way. And most importantly you would have come off sounding (and acting) like a reasonable person, instead of a wild eyed fanatic.
