If by that you mean responding to some unhinged maniacs unsolicited attacks, then yeah. I didn't say anything to the guy, he goes off at me, then blames me for his actions, lies about what I said, then accuses me of editing my post when I did no such thing. How the hell am I supposed to act? I'm not going to let that nut lie and accuse me of things I haven't done so he can get away with acting like a troll. If he can't handle people disagreeing with him, maybe he should leave. God knows he throws a tempertantrum whenever it happens, if all he wants is a captive audiance who never talks back and never questions him (and it's fairly obvious he can't handle anything else), this is really the wrong place for it.
Besides, as far as I can see nothing I've said is nasty, certainly no worse than what I was responding too. At the very least it's descriptive. How else can you describe an insane lying nut than as an insane lying nut?
He's still not stopped I note. But if I respond, he'll whine again about how I started it and he just wants me to leave him alone. He's started it, because as usual his massive ego and tiny intelect couldn't handle being questioned, he found someone not agreeing with him an insult. And if I'm perpetuating it, it's only because I keep responding to his trollish lies and attacks.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Thanks guys
Ironically, Citizen and I aren't really all that different in many ways. It's just that we always seem to clash into this spiralling thunderdome, which consumes time and energy. It's probably best that we just ignore each other.
The forum as a whole is like an addiction that's hard to kick. I'm certainly not at my most productive while posting here, so I need to be selective about subjects I post on, and the times of communications I get into.
There's undoubtedly some self serving element in my efforts to organize it, even though those threads have been on the suggestions of others. I'm not taking credit for the ideas, but I like experimentation, especially if it leads to something productive or efficient.
The topic I actually wanted to talk about was pepsi, here. I think that my views on socialism probably spark a lot of ire overall, and probably here. I guess I would say that, just to boil it down to a one liner, it's not a moral or religious objection to the idea, though I think it's kind of alliancy:
I like experimentation, but socialism is an idea that has been tried, with disastrous results.
I'm not up for that debate, people are free to disagree, and I just want to say that as a one liner so people know where I'm coming from. It's not to defend capitalism, or any other ism against it, or anything. I just want to avoid this sort of argument, while being free to hold that position. It's based on a lifetime of evidence gathering, and it's unlikely to change due to more evidence. People hold positions on issues, and we shouldn't be all 
over them. We should just discuss those on which we're more interested in, and for me, those are things I'm undecided about, or not informed about. The most interesting discussion for me here lately was the one about problems with drug rehab, a topic I was naive on. I didn't really mind the 
over the second amendment. I was just wrong is all. There were some others that were interesting, and some that are just funny, like kicking around a bagel. Just gnawing over how not to get into it again, because the forum overall is on the edge for me. It's like being here or not is one of the issues that I'm still weighing. The reason to be here is there are interesting intelligent people with insights. The reason not to be here is it consumes to much time, and rarely, but on occasion, gets me down. As an American, yesterday was a great day. Regardless of race or political affiliation. I couldn't care less about getting a democrat in the white house, But, and I may clash in views with others, of all of the "rid of Bush" and getting someone that actually has a brain, and seems very likeable, the high point for me was the bumbling swearing in of Barack Hussein Obama. I know that was because it was a kick in the pants to the "My country right or wrong" islamophobes, many of whom are here. I just had to smile and think, "okay, deal with that one."
Unfortunately, it looks like Hillary will be a secretary again. I really don't like that woman.
