Sigh. The kids who never took Logic make it hard to have a decent discussion.

The "basic rule" you laughably posit is an ad hominem, positively applied, sure, but still nothing but an ad hominem. It's nothing but a feeble deception and ducking of an argument.

Also noted is your linguistically violent employment of an amorphous and pejorative term "cop bashing." It's a basic rule of propaganda that controlling the mind is more easily done when you control the vocabulary.

There's something sinister about you.

Whoa!! I often don't agree with Smoking's harsh approach, but speaking just to literary skill, that has got to be one of the better comments to originate on this forum.

He's a good egg. Funny house, but a good egg.

No, it's the nature of humans to subjugate ideas that sound stupid. You clearly sound stupid to most people. Get over yourself. It's not like you're Galileo Galilei, you're only here to slam LEO's and smugly insist anyone who opposes you is a traitor to the constitution. I followed your posts for a while before finally determining you're nothing more than a liberal troll trying to inject "anarchist" BS into the forum. Incidentally, anarchism is the lack of government, not a lack of law and order, I know that challenges your programing, just try RE-reading "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlien. Even the "prof" acknowledged the need for a government, iffor nothing besides the herding of sheep.

Do I get to slam this guy? It would be easy and fun to humiliate him and convince him to keep his yap shut around his betters, but my retaliation would also turn your board into a combat zone.

Does his choice to disagree with you and your methods make you his "better?" No. It means he disagrees with you. So do I.
Of course, I also disagree with his choice to imply that you are stupid, or that you "clearly sound stupid..." Such comment from him, or from you, or from anyone else is not useful in fostering good communication.

Then why are you on a gun forum?

To support the RKBA, and Open Carry. I thought that is what this forum was for, right? Why are YOU on a gun forum?

I will add that I am NOT here to insult others, belittle those who are not in lockstep with my views, or to bash LE.

Honest disagreement about methods of activism should be devoid of insult. Honest discussion should be possible without resorting to rudeness. I can disagree with you without calling you names, or insulting you. I can agree with you fundamentally while disagreeing with your methodology.

Glad you're on my team.

I'm not sure what "bash" means, but a man can't serve two masters.
Why does it have to be about serving anyone?

In OCDO parlance, I understand "LEO bashing" to mean the denigrating of LE simply because they are LE. I do not support that specific. I do support pointing out where LE abuse their power and violate the Rights of citizens. There is a difference.

Also, LE abuse of power can be presented and discussed without resorting to insult and rudeness.

The point I present is that differences of opinion can be discussed in a civil manner. You do not seem to agree with this.

Smoking, you are the lowest form of poster on this forum. One who equates liberty with whatever, and only whatever you believe. You are of the same stripe as the fascist thinkers who have destroyed this and other countries. Only your way, is acceptable and you would seem to stop at nothing to ensure that only your way is the one used. You shout "liberty" yet have no idea what it truly is. You denounce government in all it's forms and representatives, while claiming to be of the same spirit as those who founded this country. Well, they weren't wild eyed anarchists, but cool headed and clear thinkers.

You sir, are nothing more than a common rabble rouser. And then you cower behind "either with me or against me" sentiments that ensure that in your feeble little mind you, and those who drink the same cool aid as you, are correct, and anyone else is an enemy or worse.

I openly wish for and look forward to the day when you and others like you are banned from this forum, and the decent folks don't have to put up with your crazed ramblings.

How dare you speak that way to your "betters":D.

I personally have no problem calling him what he is, a common self absorbed elitist a$$hole.

While you're an uneducated, uncultured, unintelligent, anti-intellectual, hateful, drawling, boorish, belligerent redneck whose arming terrifies refined society. Pity that your proximity to your State's capital and best city hasn't caused you to develop a taste for intellectual curiosity while shedding your obnoxious temperament.

It bespeaks a void of character for a man to pray for any war.

Prove it.

So one who adheres to Nozick, Rand, Rockwell and Rothbard is a fascist? Do you even know what a Libertarian is? What do you consider to be the working Libertarian maxim?

You defile the term "libertarian" when you apply it to yourself. It rather seems you're engaged in definition revisionism when you claim libertarianism.

You a dissembling, mendacious, evil little fellow. As I said, there is something deeply sinister about you, and you're up to something dark here.

I posted my results in June; let's see yours.

You can apply the "ignore" feature to my posts.

Nobody's forcing you to read what I write.
