I second that. This stupid argument over `negatives' and `invisible horses'
went on over in Holysmoke several years ago, got so heated that the moderator
there banned several people (strangely, the people who were prevailing in the
argument were the ones who got banned).


This isn't Holysmoke, and the attempt of Ceppa, Sauer and a few others to turn
it `into' Holysmoke light is obvious to everyone who was familiar with this
argument in Holysmoke back then.


*Supposedly*.....this is a `political discussion' echo. And all this
`invisible horse' bullshit needs to go to Holysmoke where it belongs.


On another plane......Ceppa brags about how clean and squeeky he keeps *his*
echo (or his most recent brag......*any* echo he moderates). He expounds on
how everyone who posts in *his* echoes adhere to a higher standard of behavior
than any other echo (the implication being `those on *our* side of the aisle
are `culprits'....and Ceppa is the fuckin' Angel of Reason).


So.....he `kicks the badger loose' by coming into other echoes where people on
`our' side of the aisle are.....and attempts to drag the echo down, so he can
go back to his own echoes, and shout `see?.......see?'.


Personally, my opinion of Ceppa had `never' been good. Even from the first
post of his I ever read. But I don't dispute his right to post what he thinks,
nor his right to express his opinions.


I `do' dispute his right to go into other peoples' echoes and try the low ball
tactics he and Sauer have been carrying on since they both breezed in here.


He should be told to confine his bullshit to Holysmoke.....and if he wants to
talk *politics*, fine. If not.....don't let the door hit him in the ass on his
way out of here.
