Hello WAYNE!

**NOTE**

Its not lost on me that a fair number of posts of yours lately bear a fair
amount of lucidity, if you had a stroke, a recovery such as this, would not
be posssible, remember Wayne I have a family member whom sufferred through
a real one.

26 Jan 07 09:25, you wrote to me:

 WC> How many times over the last five years have I explained
 WC> what a pyrrhic victory is?

A meaningless victory or a victory that hurt the victor more than the loser?

Lets take stock Wayne..

You have lost access to BBS's and echoes, stock and respect by others, I
have remained unphased, if you wish to view things as a contest, battle or
war, you have lost far more than I.

 WC> How many times from before the Iraqi invasion until some two years
 WC> thereafter had I tried to tell you there were no WMD in Iraq?

Before IRAQ, none.

After its onset, plenty.

We have been over this already, ad naseum, but lets rehash.

When Iraq began, I chose to wait until I saw more evidence before making up
my mind, you were not going to be that source. Eventually I saw that the
evidence was unsupported and I did concede that fact to you, still wasnt
good enough.

Political belief/idealogy and the debate that brings, is to you only in the
context that you firmly believe that others are only entitled to your
beliefs.

Our little fued of late is what you can call a little payback for the 2
years you stalked me in POL_INC over the WMD thing, I find it odd that you
cannot tolerate your own medicine. But like Otto, you hold others to
standards you refuse to hold to yourself.

 WC> How many times did I tell you that I was a biker?

You are not a biker Wayne, you are a cripple (your words).

 WC> How many times did I tell you that I
 WC> was going to do precisely this to you starting five
 WC> years ago?

None and you have done nothing to me..

On the otherhand, lets think about what you have done to me:

You have hurt me by getting yourself banned from BBS's and echoes and by
becomming a laughing stock?

Have you noticed how you get ignored in FIDONEWS?

Is that the meaningless victory you claim I had?

You should stick to the linux and pol_inc echoes where you are safe.
