Uh, Eric? That's a perfectly correct English sentence.

Reading not your strong suit, I guess...

I do just fine.

: 1) Rand tells people it's a waste of time to listen to you, but
: doesn't say you shouldn't be permitted to talk.
:
:He feels the need to intervene. Period. He should not intervene.

In other words, you want his opinion squelched. THAT is censorship,
Eric.

No it isn't.

: 2) You want Rand silenced.
:
:I don't want Rand to intervene. Period.

He's not 'intervening'. He's merely expressing his opinion. Your
desire to suppress that is CENSORSHIP, Eric. His thinking you are an
idiot is merely observation.

: Even you ought to be able to figure it out from there.
:
:Yes, you continue to try and kiss Rand's ass to get out of his
:killfile. It isn't working, Freddy.

No, Eric. It's just that anyone with even a scintilla of sense knows
you're an idiot.

If I were an idiot then you'd stop responding. Gotcha, Freddy...

Hell, you couldn't demonstrate it more clearly than by what you've
spewed just today.

So what? So f---ing what?

: :
: : Speaking of wanting to infringe folks' right to speak and all, I
: : mean...
: :
: :I'm pretty sure you DON'T know what you mean...
:
: You're pretty sure of all sorts of idiotic notions, Eric.
:
:If you're calling yourself a 'notion', then you have a point.

Eric, you've repeatedly demonstrated that you haven't a single clue
about anything about me.

Other than you being a mean, pompous, a-hole? Is that what you mean?

Perhaps you're sure, but then you act sure about all sorts of things
about which your ignorance is pretty much total.

Again, so what? You're right, Fred. And guess what? You get to BE
right...

So, so what?

Eric

This is the sort of nonsense up with which we cannot put. As a
general rule, it's perfectly permissible to end an English sentence
with a verb, though the specific rules of word-order don't always
make it possible -- for example, "Nice Freddy going" is wrong
because you place the object before the verb, but "Nice going" with
the object implied is perfectly acceptable.

So, has minutia always been your forte?

You have to up put with all sorts of nonsense if you don't killfill
Eric. Almost every time he posts, he reminds me of that line from
Ruthless People: "This could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth. Maybe we should shoot him."

Is that a threat?

You see here we are having fun on the net and Rand thinks joking about
shooting someone is cute.

No, you seem to think everyone is inferior to you. You need anger
management and counseling for starters.

Has anyone ever issued a restraining order against you?

Fred, about 99% of the resposnes to your posts really should be "there,
there".


You exceed even my expectation of the magnitude of the stupidity of
which you are capable, El Chimpo.

Good, just as long as it ****es you off...


:
: Once again, Eric's ignorance overwhelms everything.
:
:Well you never did say what you do.

Yeah, I've kept it a huge secret, all right.

Would anyone who can actually read care to tell El Chimpo what I do?

So it is so important that another has to introduce you? Wow!

Fred J. McCall doesn't show up on Wiki, so I see you are still awaiting
your 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps you're actually enjoying that fame?
May it be at milliseconds per interval.

Go ahead Fred, I think everyone is shy. Tell me what you do.

Eric

In context, that is obviously _not_ a threat, nor is he advocating
shooting you.

Not to mention that he thinks "having fun on the net" consists of
accusing people of being frauds, and liars, and spewing non-sequiturs
and asking idiotic complex questions non-stop that insult everyone's
intelligence.

Congratulations.
