Apparently, 9 out of 10 Backroomians agree

No, in fact, I don't consider him to be a flaming asshole. Ilion reminds me too much of members of my family I used to routinely argue with. Kind of makes me homesick for the good ol' days when I got to be the liberal fighting against conservatism...
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.
Truth be told, if pressed to attach adjectives to Iliot, I'd have to go with childish and misguided.

Apparently, 9 out of 10 Backroomians agree that[^] Christian Graus is a willfully and deliberately ignorant fool[^] -- including, it seems, Mr Graus himself[^]. Now, as you all surely ought to know, I don't at all object to you agreeing with me in my assessment of Mr Graus. What I *do* object to is the risibly false assertion[^] that stating this fact about his character is a tautology. But, have it your way, you incredibly foolish children: to state that Christian Graus is a willfully and deliberately ignorant fool is to state a tautology. A tautology is, of course, a statement which, by its very nature, cannot be false. :laugh: :cool: :thumbsup: You children can be so very mildly amusing, at times. :rolleyes: :laugh:
I notice that none of you kiddies can actually bring yourselves to align yourselves with the truth when that means aligning with me. Have it your way: :rolleyes: to claim that Christian Graus is a willfully and deliberately ignorant fool is to make a statement which cannot be false.

It's impossible to discuss anything with the likes of you[^]. You're intellectually dishonest; you're a hypocrie.
You reap what you sow. From the moment you've arrived here you've been spouting your "intellectually dishonest" bs. When called out or challenged with real questions to your assertions you consistently disappear, fail to respond, or just try to shout others down. So, piss off or hold your ground. Either way you need to stop being such a pansy ass.

You can't say that with any certainty, can you? Though I believe I've seen the question posed to him before, I don't believe I've ever seen him answer it. It's entirely possible that even he would agree. :-D

As I keep pointing out, you're willfully and deliberately ignorant. In a word, a fool.

You're also intellectually dishonest; you even try to lie to yourself and expect the rest of us to go along (here[^], here[^], here[^])
Yes, you keep pointing that out, as a way to reply without actually ever answering me on anything I ever say.

Nothing retarded about it. It represents a world view held by people who are largely more tolerant, more open minded, more intelligent than many of those who hold the opposite world view.

I love how you link back to the conversation that shows you REFUSE to try to discuss anything, and somehow think this makes your point.

Of all the things I've seen in this forum by far the most pathetic are topics started for no purpose other than insulting another member. Say hi to your mum for me ;)

I understand perfectly how people who hold these views feel threatend by the social, cultural and political forces arrayed against them. These were solidly mainstream views not so very long ago and now they are advanced as evidence of some form of right wing extremism akin in some abstract way to Nazi death camps. I think a degree of hostility in response is to be expected and not at all out of line.

Troy doesn't have views, he has neuroses. They would have made his disliked in my grandfather's day as much as in ours.

A little hostility spices the message board; deliberate trolling does not - whether it comes from Gadzemski or Hailey.
