[QUOTE]Originally posted by bdgee: [QB] Let's revisit my original post from which Machiavelli has chosen to extract only a part and then intentionally claim it to be an attack on Andrew. It most certainly was not. That entire post is above and there is nothing in it mentioning andrew or even possibly suggesting it is directed to or at andrew or any other individual, in spite of Machiavelli's claim that it was. Indeed the "you" of that post is is the same you we see so often being told "you know who you are". I can only assume andrew knew or thought he did and decided it was him (his decision, not mine). That wasn't my doing. Andrew takes offense and attacks me and Machiavelli reads into it his bias (he seems to have a lot of those) and wants to fight. I think it is obvious who is attacking someone and offering insult and name calling and it isn't me. Machiavelli has repeatedly made it clear he wishes to fight. TS! That is childish. A battle of wits in a chat room cannot offer anyone but someone with a sick mind any pleasure and it certainly isn't something the rest of the folks want to have to put up with. (Anyway, I don't wish to have to tie one hand behind me to make such a battle of wits seem to be fair.) I did not in anyway attack andrew with the first post in this thread, as Machiavelli claims, and I state bluntly that I also did not attack Machiavelli and there is no good reason for him to be attacking me, particularly since he really only wishes to be a troublemaker. I decline to play. Machiavelli is himself engaged in a campaign of hate, though I suspect from the viewpoint of his love of New York and near religious belief that whatever is customary and habitual in New York is acceptable everywhere and only things New Yorkish are appropriate anywhere, that he thinks he isn't out of place. He is, but isn't able to understand that the propensity of New Yorkers, when they actually believe themselves to be debating, is to live by character attack and insult rather than by rational development of an argument on the merits of a subject to support their case. That is because, as is so often the case, New Yorkers are hopelessly and purely provincial and cannot recognize it. I've known some wonderful people from New York, just as I've known some wonderful people from France and Oklahoma and a lot of places. Always they were considerate of others and other's ideas and customs and were not looking to fight with anyone. [/QB][/QUOTE]
