175. If you're not excitable, you could have fooled me.

Sun Dec 8, 2013, 06:15 PM

Dec 2013

And I think your most recent post demonstrates the point I made without any ambiguity.

I don't insult people or call names, like you've been doing throughout this thread, or do any of the things you're accusing me of .... all while you do exactly what you decry to me. Hello, irony!

The videos I've posted are fresh as a daisy. Sorry, you can hurl invective all day long and I'll simply "consider the source," and perhaps feel a bit sorry for you, but you're not getting away with making stuff up. I also don't see where I was "called out" but if you think that is the case and it makes you feel better to believe that, well, knock yourself out.

You certainly don't take it very well when someone doesn't agree with you, do you? That is a real shame ...for you, certainly.

It also makes for unproductive conversation.
