Feel better now?
Come on Wayne, we've been over this before. You know full well that I couldn't care any less whether you take me seriously or not. That if my answers to your cryptic questions disappoint you, I simply do not care. The fact that I sometimes don't respond to your pugnacious queries has less to do with my not wanting to enlighten you and everything to do with the fact that it's hard to remain interested in following along on your tremulous flights of fancy. (tommy gun toting marauders decimate Moscow Mtn. leaps immediately to mind) Wasting your ever dwindling remaining time ranting and railing over my short comings gains you nothing and, quite frankly, amuses me to no end. To sum it all up, if I make you unhappy, I'm sorry, I suppose, but that's just the way it is and, most assuredly, the way it will remain.
Now get yourself a little rest, and a little more fiber in your diet.

1. The post of which you complain is a direct response to the previous one in the thread authored by one Gary Crabtree (see the post preceding his for the obvious problems this person has with continuity).
2. "Since it seems that precision is what we are all about all of a sudden..." Let me quote this same Gary Crabtree from this thread, whom you do not appear to be acquainted with: "I firmly believe that stating facts in a discussion..."
Careful readers, if there are some still interested in this thread at this point can draw their own conclusions.
Ever since you deigned to grace V 2020 with your thoughts, you have been as abusive as the worst of us, you frequently fail to answer or give a serious, well-reasoned answers to salient points posters raise challenging your claims, you sometimes post with no other apparent motive than to irritate those you consider your "elitist" inferiors, you sometimes post almost incomprehensible rants possibly being pathetic attempts at humor but giving the impression of serious impairment, and now you bawl and bray like a jackass with a burr up its ass when you get some of the same treatment.
If you want to be taken seriously and to really engage in serious dialogue, then act like it instead of dyspeptic malcontent with a flagrant inferiority complex unhappy because you do not like the hand you have in part dealt yourself in this life.
And the issue is not really your rhetoric, but your willingness to discuss (which includes careful reading and consideration of different points of view) seriously the issues raised.

My goodness, this is becoming more than a little tedious. Since it seems that precision is what we are all about all of a sudden let me make sure I understand you correctly. In a thread that has evolved into the relative merits of FOX news and the lack there of, I am now guilty of failing to answer "the question of whether certain (which I take from the rather pompous nonclarification is meant to be me) conservatives rarely offer new approaches to regional/national/global problems and even more rarely give substantive reasons to believe such approaches would actually work and benefit those affected by them."
Is it just me or does this seem a tad overblown, considering the subject?

The word was "slink" not "prance."
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/slink
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/prance
Such a misreading seems to provide even more evidence for the problems I have not inadvertently and not without some substantiation attributed to you.
Also, I am dreadfully sorry that my words were not clearer: "deer" was not intended; more like "moose" or wild boar" in accordance with your soma was.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/deer
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/moose
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wild+boar
Nor was "costume:"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/costume
I humbly beg your forgiveness for my inexcusable lack of clarity.
And I duly note your continued avoidance of the question of whether certain [<<< emphasized in a pre-emptive attempt to avoid another misresponse]conservatives rarely offer new approaches to regional/national/global problems and even more rarely give substantive reasons to believe such approaches would actually work and benefit those affected by them.

My gosh! You're right! I don't know why it never occurred to me before. I could simply suggest that those I don't agree with are cognitively disabled, have a reading comprehension problem, are given to over consumption of Keystone light, and that they should put on a deer costume and prance about in the woods during hunting season. It's as though a whole new world has opened up to me. Thank you ever so much for your valuable insights into problem solving.

We could hardly have a better example of someone painting themselves into a corner, in this case probably for a lifetime, than Gary's responses in this thread. That's why many of his like-minded associates are called conservatives, not in the original meaning of the word, but because they are conceptionally unable to think that new and better ways of solving problems can be found.

I don't recall ever mentioning KRFP before the last week of last month. I suppose it's possible but fairly unlikely. Either way, contempt was not what I expressed. What I said was that they had a bias and were purveyors of progressive propaganda. When the stations mission statement plainly states that it's dedicated to "progressive values" and "social change" it's not an expression of contempt it's a statement of fact. I firmly believe that stating facts in a discussion is a more productive thing than using the "you're too stupid to understand" gambit. You're welcome to stick with what ever works for you.
