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.

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.

It's impossible to discuss anything with the likes of you[^]. You're intellectually dishonest; you're a hypocrie.
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.

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:

Yep. That describes Troy to a "T." :laugh: Face it, Stan, Ilion is the Nancy Pelosi of the Back Room - only without the strength of character.

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.

You're so incredibly ignorant ... or dishonest.

I get the point. Let's recap 1 - you're trying to rile me up 2 - it's failing 3 - that's hurting you so bad, that you simply HAVE to respond 4 - and it's still not working and, PS, you're a sad, pathetic creature, is it any wonder that I don't give a damn what you have to say ?

Riiiight. You're *all* riled up, and you still *refuse* to see the clearly stated point, which was stated multiple times.

She's dead. She was a cripple ... and odds are that (until her old age) she could have whopped your ass. When she was still on crutches, as opposed to being wheelchair-bound, she might even have been able to run your ass down to give it that whopping.
