Calvin Coolidge you ain't, though you probably would make a good
Calvinist.

You could NEVER wish actual happiness to someone with different beliefs
than your own.

I've debated/argued countless times in all kinds of ng's.
And there's one great constant to them all.
The person that's losing the debate ends it with a
bunch of insults.

Great, thanks. That clears it up.

I really have to chime in here too.

You really are one dumb anonymous mother****er.


Fake insults don't count.




Once crucial question science is trying to answer, were you born a dumb
mother****er, or were you indoctinated by American culture to be just
another dumb mother****er? Was your apparent dumbness a result of just
a chance of genes, was your mother a ****er, or perhaps your daddy
wasn't your daddy, but your daddy didn't know, or were they just dumb
mother****ers, and they raised you to be another dumb mother****er in a
nation of dumb mother****ers? This is trying question all intelligent
Americans ask themselves nowadays, in an attempt to understand the
complete and utter bull**** America has become in the modern world.

Was it nature or nurture? Naaa, forget it, it doesn't matter. You're
clearly a dumb mother****er, that is the result we have to live with.

That's why I don't. Got tired of having to replace the needle in my

Once again, I didn't present an argument, or even purport to, you
moron.

This post really ought to be the new dictionary entry for 'ad
hominem.'

On a related note, the notable decline in civility on usenet forums is
the main reason I hardly ever use usenet anymore, and also why I
choose to remain anonymous.

You stated your opinion (passed judgement) about my level of intelligence.
Given we're about the same age and have the same level of education,
though I'm pretty sure I'm more knowledgable about computer science than
you are about aerospace engineering; I'd say you're in no position to pass
judgement about my intelligence. I don't have to consult, I have a job.

: You still refuse to understand what ad hominem is, continue to use it
: rather than debate

: No, I both debate and accurately describe you. That's not ad hominem.

You don't debate, you insult, and your "accurate" description, as you put
it, is nothing but your opinion, which you all too often confuse with
fact.

Why the commercial space industry tolerates you is a sign that they are
desperate and can use every advocate that they can get, despite your
rudeness and penchant for being a jerk. Hint: Kindness isn't a sign of
weakness. You might try it sometime.

: and then claim not to. Are you a moron?

: Obviously not.

: more Chomskolian cluelessness snipped

Go see the movie, "Cobb", starring Tommy Lee Jones, you bozo.

Yes, you're pretty sure of many things about which you're actually
clueless.

I'd say you're in no position to pass judgement about my intelligence.

Of course I am, as is everyone in this newsgroup, based on your
plethora of idiotic postings, over a period of many years.

I don't have to consult, I have a job.

I don't have to consult, either. I prefer to.

Oh, Eric, hilarious gems like this are why I don't killfile you. But
while I find your stupid opinions endlessly amusing, that's not the
same thing as respecting them, or caring about them.
