What! No review of the next to last episode of "Breaking Bad"? Or the
finale episode of "Dexter"? Where are your priorities? Who gives a shit
about a bunch of piddling people piddling over who said what about Whole
Foods?
I tell you what, the next article on TM in the MSM where comments are
available I'm going to point to FFL as an example for people to visit
and see how TMers behave. :-P

At 5:38am today (my time) Xeno made it clear that he was
not going to do either, and thus expected Judy to keep her
word and cease all attempts to have discussions with him:

At 2:28 today (my time), Judy broke her word and wrote to
Xeno *directly*, after claiming she wouldn't, addressing
him directly and calling him "either very dishonest or very
stupid."
In other words, having realized the bind she'd placed herself
in, she backpedalled like crazy and claimed that she'd never
said she wouldn't "comment" on things he posted. She's NOT
"commenting" in this later reply, she's addressing Xeno
*directly*, and thus attempting to have a discussion with
him, the very thing she said she'd not do unless he did
what she wanted.
In other words, Judy *LIED*.
In "Judyworld," addressing a person directly, calling them
names, and attempting anything she can possibly think of to
lure them back into an argument is NOT "discussing" things
with them. Doing this with someone who had made it clear
that he was *happy* that she will no longer be attempting to
discuss things with him is -- in her mind -- NOT "discussing"
things with him. It's something else.
Insanity, maybe? :-) :-) :-)

You are either very dishonest or very stupid. You made accusations
which, if they were true, you would be able to document. I made no
such accusations.
I don't think you're so stupid as not to have realized this.
I said I wouldn't discuss anything with you unless you withdraw your
accusations (you can't document them because they're patently not
true). I didn't say I wouldn't comment if I found it appropriate to do
so (e.g., if you make any more false or insulting statements about me,
I may respond to them). But your accusations, as long as they're on
the table, have effectively foreclosed on the possibility of our
having a friendly discussion of "philosophy or science or music" or
any other neutral topic.
And that's not even a tiny bit "Robinish," nor are you so stupid as to
think it is.
