- dsholtsi@csl36h.csl.ncsu.edu (Doug Holtsinger) writes the perfect
- sentence to capture the full essence of why he is regarded as a prime
- net liar. I have difficulty understanding such behavior because it is
- so clearly revealing of an ends-justifies-the-means mentality as to be
- uncomfortably manipulative to read:
-
- >I have stated numerous times I am undecided on the issue of
- >legislation, but that I do oppose Roe v. Wade and the FOCA.
-
- In the context of talk.abortion, it is incomprehensible to me that one
- could claim to be undecided on legislative issues and opposed to FOCA.
- Your mention of your opposition of RvW suggests that you would
- probably make the broader claim that you are undecided about state
- intervention to compel pregnancy while being opposed to RvW.
-
- >My arguments against abortion often revolve around moral
- >issues, and they should not be confused with arguments in
- >favor of legal restrictions.
-
- Last time I checked deliberate misrepresentation and lying were
- generally considered immoral. Is that a clue about how to
- characterize your side of the issue?
