We've seen him direct it at at targets such as Wanda Watkins, whose only crime was asking people to support the war in Afghansitan, and having a son killed in that war.<BR/><BR/>It amuses me the extent to which you people want to defend that piece of slime, then attack anyone who comes after him if they step outside the rules you people set in order to try and give yourselves and advantage.<BR/><BR/>There's a reason why most of you people have so very little credibility to anyone whose head isn't lodged firmly up their asses.<BR/><BR/>For example, Saskboy: if you want to come in here and complain about the fact that I would return CC and Ms Stewart's attacks, then why don't you go and address the source of the attacks to begin with?<BR/><BR/>That would seem reasonable to most people. Trust me when I tell you that you just aren't as comfortable on that high horse as you'd like to think you are.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-45810676013190252002007-11-13T13:02:00.000-07:002007-11-13T13:02:00.000-07:00"I'm willing to bet that anyone who has good reaso..."I'm willing to bet that anyone who has good reasons to want to remain anonymous would probably avoid attacking people."<BR/><BR/>And what causes you to act like a jackass and attack back?Saskboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258259356749068135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-3113959144091986392007-11-13T08:57:00.000-07:002007-11-13T08:57:00.000-07:00Publishing PSA's name was such a childish thing to...Publishing PSA's name was such a childish thing to do, Patrick.<BR/>Who the hell are you stating that you're better than anonymous bloggers just because you use your real name.<BR/>Again, I don't care *who* said something--I care that what they said is truth.<BR/>And you're so far from it--that's why you're mentioned by CC and others.<BR/>Putting PSA's name out there was petty and vindictive and didn't accomplish anythign besides inflating your already oversized ego.<BR/>Get off that high horse, jackass.Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537839430366306648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-38589336452168697612007-11-12T23:04:00.000-07:002007-11-12T23:04:00.000-07:00Who said I was crying?Clearly your ego is getting ...Who said I was crying?<BR/><BR/>Clearly your ego is getting the better of you.Paladieahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957955716697489071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-86001878899232010712007-11-12T22:59:00.000-07:002007-11-12T22:59:00.000-07:00I make no excuses for either defending myself or e...I make no excuses for either defending myself <I>or</I> exposing cowards for the same kind of ridicule they would fling at others.<BR/><BR/>If you don't like it, cry harder.

In the case of at least two such individuals now, they're very wrong.<BR/><BR/>And you're precisely right, Matt! I <I>am</I> going to dismiss your complaint due to the anonymity you yourself cower behind.<BR/><BR/>In a sense, it's a very miserly practice. Those of us who blog under our real names share a good deal more of ourselves that our anonymous counterparts do.<BR/><BR/>It's really just a shame that, at the end of the day, when these people can't find a way to attack my ideas, they settle for attacking <I>me</I>.<BR/><BR/>On that note, I've put up with worse.

She's terrified her name, location and friends will get out into the wrong hands, lest she and her new family be hunted down.<BR/><BR/>Which is to say, some people have very good reason for keeping their names off the net, even those who disagree with you politically. Get some perspective, Patrick. There are consequences to your words beyond the sheltered confines of your shabby little blog-wars.<BR/><BR/>To pre-empt the obvious retorts (if you post this at all); no, I am not saying that PSA is necessarily at risk of violence and no, I'm not endorsing any position taken by any other blog, and yes, I fully expect a reply smugly dismissing my point on the basis of either my blog or my own anonymity. Nonetheless, posting names in this context is not unlike a mafia goon saying "I know where you live," with all the intimidation implied therein. If you've another reason for doing this, beyond the ammunition it gave you for some cheap shots, I'd love to hear it.<BR/><BR/>(By the way - you know what would make that failed actor crack really hit home? If you called him/her ugly as well, and maybe added a "nanananana booboo.")Matthew1237https://www.blogger.com/profile/02550372507854689609noreply@blogger.com
