In reply to the discussion: FISA & EPCA the facts & nothing more [View all]Monkie
(1,301 posts)24. again, if i had seen you had also responded to me after attacking the other person
i would not have responded in the way i did.
i thought your post was also "kind of a dick move" when there was a substantiative critique that was more worthy of a serious rebuttal by someone who takes the position you do, hence the "straw man" statement.
most of the people who have defended the state in this discussion have done so without actually addressing the issues with any authority, it may sounds strange that i say this, but i really really do welcome that.
so now i look quite foolish, which is not a bad thing i guess, it is always good to screw up sometimes, it keeps the old ego in check.

Yeah, where were all of you complainers back in 1979? I didn't see you make a PEEP back then!
