I watched you arguing with Detweiler and thought that you were an idiot. However, I figured that Detweiler was sufficient provocation to bring out the idiot in just about anyone so I ignored that.
But here you have proven that you really don't understand.
This I don't intend to ignore. Welcome to my killfile. When you figure out why, you may be worthy of being removed from it.
Not the words of an "understanding" and "sensitive" person. Everyone else seems to be getting in their last word. That's mine. I've temporarily unsubscribed the list for an unspecified period. I can't keep up with this war, my classes, and my work on the Extropians list software. -- Ray Cromwell | Engineering is the implementation of science; -- -- rjc@gnu.ai.mit.edu | politics is the implementation of faith. -- -- Founding Member of the Dark Side --
