That you'd redefine spam to mean anything I post with text from another source clearly shows that you dislike me.

Because you dislike me doesn't make what I post "spam."

Maybe I should claim every other time YOU post that YOU'RE "spamming."

Or shitting around the forum like a seagull at the dump ?

Do you have a preference ?



I don't "dislike" you.

Constant cutting and pasting is spamming the forums. If your cutting and pasting, quoting yourself, and really stupid smilies were eliminated, more than half of your posting would disappear.

No, I just get fed up and silly and lose interest.

We've run around this tree enough. Time to sit in tent and pass cra- .. peace pipe.

Or something.

Yes, when no-one is willing to debate you, you have a habbit of throwing a emotional whim and then tell people you'll stick around to tail them. Grow up.

That's a false conclusion. I'm paying attention and don't agree that haploid and diploid cells are completely different. They have the exact same information. It's like saying that the contents of a book changes if you get an extra copy.

Re: One last abortion poll (Now with more options!)

I'm not sure anyone takes you seriously either though.

But i'm glad you don't set up any misnomer of wanting to debate CT, and rather just sit around "call names", and were at least honest enough about it.

At least its something you can handle/manage.

That's OK, most of the rest of the board is sure, so I can afford your uncertainty.

Well, since mostly what he's done is to repeat the same points over and over without trying to defend them when they're refuted, I certainly agree the "debate" here has been lacking. So if I was really set on "debating" him, I would be doomed to disappointment.

I must admit he's chosen an extremely difficult position to defend logically, though, so probably we should cut him a little slack.

I said i couldn't be sure that anybody took you seriously...so you're certain that everybody is sure that they don't take you seriously?

Though if others do value what you say, why the need to tell folks that you will herrange and follow them round? Behaving like a puppy dog following others around like a lost stray would kinda diminish that whole respect that everyone has for you, no?

Just a thought.

I'm sure he'll appreciate that...*insert appropriate smiley here*

What does "herrange" mean?

I do believe you took offense personally at what I said to you on one occasion, sir. It's not as if it were a pattern.

Re: One last abortion poll (Now with more options!)

Not sure if i spelt it right but basically following someone round, tailing them, posting a respone to them when nothing to say etc just continuously harrassing them.

But with CT you just basically said you were gonna hang around to call him names!

Re: One last abortion poll (Now with more options!)

Personally I am in favor of banning abortion, even in cases of rape, if after a molestation someone is to be aborted, make it the molestor.

I am not, however, an advocate of any kind of federal mandate to do this, but merely something I'd like to see enacted at the state level in the hypothetical case that Roe v. Wade is overturned.
