Hello from the UK.

Sorry, but I am not striving to be a leader. I was asked time after time to be Republican Leader at my last place, but I never wanted it, and turned it down at every opportunity. Ill let you be the leader so I can just debate.



I'm the most credible poster you will ever meet. I always back up what I post, and I treat others with the respect they treat me with. You, of all people should know this, after the way I could have embarrassed you but took the high road, instead.

Well then, let me correct you again.

I've yet to insult someone before they insulted me.

Observe:

Page #2
Jared poked the wrong dog with a stick.

He then accuses me of being a liar:

Page #3
I still have not attacked him, or anyone else at that point.

The graphic in question was made by another poster on my previous board, and I had not seen it.


I gave Frodo a link to that poster account at the other board, and accepted his bet. Even though he has now Ad Hom attacked me twice, I still have not counter attacked him.


Now.....you may remember how on the first thread where you dealt with me, You called yourself an idiot.

Gun talk split out of the member pictures thread.

Let's take a look how I treated you, knowing from my first post that you were obviously wrong, and I was obviously right:


A mod chimes in:
It would seem you are giving me ample opportunity here to come back and rub your nose in this later...

What did I do? Listen to the way I deal with you.




Again, you leave me a huge opening to rub your nose in this, and I still take the high road in dealing with you.

Here you are, beginnig to realize I just might be smarter than you think, and let's see if I take advantage of the situation:




Been there, already done that.

See above.



And as I just proved, they attacked me first.

I also have not attacked you, yet you have called for me to be banned, even after I treated you with respect and decency when you were digging yourself a pretty deep hole.


Yes I did. You kept insisting on one thing, and I kept pointing out multiple reasons why you were wrong, and backed up every point made with detailed observations and links to why I made them.

In the end, you had to admit I was right. Instead of piling on, I was gracious in victory. That is a pattern that you will see repeated on every sublect I will participate in.

Thanks, I take your advice under advisement.

Well, your calling for my banning because you dislike my posting style is misbehaving, considering that by now you have seen how I conduct myself in debate on multiple threads, not just this one where I am responding to ad hominem attacks.

I suggest you now take my advice, and mind your own business. You have experienced my calm patience in dealing with you on a thread where you were wrong from the get-go, and I knew it. Your perception does not match up with reality. It is you who should be apologizing, not giving out advice to me.

Greetings. I read some of your posts last night dealing with Croatia, I believe, and you seem a very interesting fellow.

Being a leader is not something you choose to accept or deny. It is something that you automatically are. Everyone leads in one way shape or form.


Brother man. As I said before, I was an idiot. I posted the wrong picture and could not check what everyone was looking at. When I am wrong. I admit to it.

Now we are all human, and we all have a tendancy to snap back when poked. It happens, I understand that. But I do not see any reason to blow ones self up in the way you have done. That is cocky, not confident.

Yes you did, and I thank you for that. Now had I been able to check what we were looking at, instead of the wrongfully thinking I posted a different picture, then the argument would have never occurred in the first place. And perhaps the ban thing was over the line. But none the less, the facts you have provided in those threads are welcome. But I still fail to see a need for the attitude that comes with the facts.

And me thinks you thinks that I am attacking you. I am not. Offering up advise, yes. But not an attack.

But in the interim. we do sound like the left arguing with each other, and a house divided can not stand.

5. Sport of choice for Airmen: golf.
Notice how the farther down the list you go, the smaller their balls get.

All concerned are aware of where the line was crossed. The real debate is upstairs.

I can clearly see that this is becoming one of those "I must have the last word" threads.





I get the last word.
