Well, here we just disagree, don't we? I think that calling people a "lying piece of shit" and a "worthless low-life bag of pus" is right near the definition of what it is to be a cad. I'm not sure we will come to agreement about this, but I don't think we need to. You can continue to think I'm a lying piece of shit, and I'll continue to think you're a cad. I invite you to continue to express your opinions, since they only serve in my opinion to make clear to everyone what your character is. > your display of mock-innocence is very boring. you're not even very good at > it. Well, I may or may not be innocent. I haven't claimed to be. Actually, I invited people to let me know if they think I'm being unreasonable. You'll understand if I don't put too much weight on your opinions, I hope. I also don't particular care if I'm boring or not. I do seem to have captivated your attention, for what it's worth. > obviously you can not see the difference between labelling a THING as > unprincipled and slandering a person as unprincipled. What do you think of a person who adopts an unprincipled position? Is that person principled or unprincipled? Or some third possibility? > so it's somehow wrong to state things plainly and unambigiously, yet it's > virtuous to make insults while pretending innocence? No, it's wrong to use abusive and hateful language, whether accurately or inaccurately. This has been explained to you many times, but I'm happy to continue to repeat it as many times as you ask me. > look at *every* single instance where we have argued. it is > self-evident that it is you smarmily attacking me, and then > pretending to be outraged when i respond. You seem to want to convince me, which is unlikely to happen. Or are you trying to convince the onlookers? Please, continue. You only hurt yourself with each such diatribe. But go ahead, prove it to the world. Shout your filth from the rooftops! Don't be surprised when the general negative perception of you only grows further and further. > in short, you look eagerly for opportunities to have a go at me, whereas i > would much prefer to just ignore you. this is because you are an arsewipe.

I don't ignore you entirely because you say things to which I feel inclined to reply, and when you do, I reply. We could take a poll, say, a GR to vote on whether I or you are the more reprehensible person. The results might be interesting. I'm not sure it's worth the effort, since you'll still pretend to be the aggrieved party, even as you are the chief violator of every rule of civility yet constructed for Debian. Thomas PS to the listmaster: Please let me know if you don't want to receive anything more from me; I'm only sending to you because Craig decided to start doing so. I have my doubts about whether you really want it.
