Don't be surprised if your posts start getting deleted if you continue to go OFF TOPIC by obsessing over your evaluation of other people and their debate methods.

Stay on the issue or don't post.
Your use of insult and personal attack is inexcuseable here, and threats to ban me (again) for pointing out that you do it do not make me any more tempted to try to speak to anything except your continued blatant abuse and cowardice to start up insults and then threaten to censor someone.

If my tactics are so plainly wrong headed, you should be able to leave them there as a sign to all how wrong headed I am. I am pretty sure you want to get rid of my posts for reasons other than that I am so terribly wrong headed.

I have on several occasions made my point here, including examples that neither you nor Eorick have even bothered to touch. If you're too full of yourself to address the disaster that the modern unenforeceable marriage contract has made of the american family, that is your problem, not mine. Maybe you'd understand better why 60+% of Americans agree with the "religious wrong" on this issue if you sucked your head out of whatever twilight zone you have it in, thinking slinging random insults is perfectly ok but people pointing out that you do it is not.

What do you think would happen to the insurance industry, or the construction industry, or the transportation industry, if you made their fundamental contracts unenforceable? What happens then if, after than, you just throw all industries together under one set of rules, many of which have absolutely nothing to do with one another, and pretend like it's "only fair"?

No, I have made my point repeatedly and you and Eorick have responded by deconstrcuting paragraphs, taking things out of context, refusing to answer concerns, and now finally threatening to remove my posts.

Have at it. Since you, Ari, are likely to be the only person to ever read this, I will tell you flat out, yours is the ONLY of -multiple- boards on political and social commentary where anyone has ever even so much as warned me to stop posting. If I want serious discussion on these matters, there are other places to go. But hurling insults, then threatening to remove replies to YOUR insults???

You're an amazeingly self-deluded individual.
