 RM> BTW, have you been called a NAZI yet?
 JB> Not, yet, but I think I have come close awhile back when the disucussion
 JB> of IQ came into topic.
 AC> To be called a NAZI you must meet all of the following criteria: 1) You
 AC> must hold some obnoxious or vile belief. 2) You must want to force your
 AC> belief onto others. 3) You must ignore the logic and reason of any
 AC> criticism of your belief.
   It also helps to be a confirmed "true believer" in David Duke.
 AC> Consider, I called someone a NAZI after repeated attempts to appeal to
 AC> reason and logic concerning the appropriate definition of Evolution.  I
 AC> gave several logical reasons why my definition is better.  The moron
 AC> NAZI ignored my reasoning, called my definition private, and then
 AC> appealed to authority (and, he even failed to demonstrated that his
 AC> friendly authorities agreed with him, in spite of a quote).
   Since you were so crude, impolite and beyond the pale of courtesy as to
continue to address messages to me after I clearly and very politely asked 
ou
not to I have concluded it really doesn't matter so I'll clarify the 
ituation
for you.
   You are obviously so inept at sending and receiving messages that you
evidently do not know how to do messages offline and therefore you assume 
hat
if somebody addresses a message to you asking you to cease addressing 
essages
to him you interpret that as some kind of curtailment on your freedom to
address messages to the group.  You're going to stalk me personally anyhow so
it doesn't matter.
   Evidently the reason you called me a NAZI was that you had me TOTALLY
CONFUSED WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHO WAS ARGUING ABOUT EVOLUTION AND CREATIONISM
WHICH I DO NOT DO.  You really were demonstrating that you can't even keep it
straight as to who is arguing about what.  The notion of carrying along any
kind of intelligent discussion with you is ridiculous on the face of it.  You
have shown quite clearly that you have not even the slightest common courtesy
or regard for other people.
   So, I really don't care what slurs you send my way and you surely must 
now
how little most of the other people here regard your foul name-calling.  
   So now that you have had an opportunity to read just how little your stuff
effects people who KNOW how to carry on a courteous, gentlemanly conversation
on Fidonet echoes just go ahead and do what you will as you will anyhow until
some moderator who isn't so generous deals with you.   I'm sure that because 

am of the old school and do not use foul-mouthed four-letter words on echoes
where ladies see them you have the juvenile notion that I'm weak in character
and in every other way.  
   So now, without fouling my nest with your kind of gutter language I have
laid it all right out for you to see.  Beneath an encrusted surface may well
lie some remaining touches of fairness, shame and humanity but I'm not
necessarily counting on it.  
   I hope that's plain enough.  Every philosopher should be well aware of 
hat
is really out there.  You have, at least, displayed that very well.  
   Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
