- No, the ending merely meant not to edit the post down to one quote and
- then attack that, though suprisingly not the quotes I thought would
- be picked out were. Reply to the *whole* *content* of the post or
- none of it. Which is why I've ignored every response I've seen so
- far.
-
- You can call me an asshole, but at least do it for the right reasons.
- Don't misdirect or rephrase what I've said to set up an attack. And I'm
- no more impressed with the lot on the other side of this than they are
- with me, nor inclined to give their voice any more credence than they
- have given mine. You all strike me as a pretty hateful and reactive bunch,
- who have no quarter for anyone outside of your political sphere.
-
- Pretty well completely damn pointless, on all sides.
