    There are two topics that always seem to bring out the worst in posters here:

    Cindy Sheehan
    Hugo Chavez

    a third, which isn't quite as bad:

    Michael Moore


    Some people might say Bush, too, but really, at this point, it's mostly just for laughs.
    Anyway, it just gets absurd, on those topics. Like Internet Armageddon. :)

    definitely need to add israel/palestine ...

    I honestly wasn't looking to hijack the thread. I gave my opinion on it, and that's about all. Whether or not you know a few people formerly from Venezuela is irrelevent. You can use it to pad your opinion, but that doesn't make it a good opinion, or free your own opinion from scrutiny any more than my opinions are free from scrutiny. I want people to question my viewpoints, but if it just comes down to hurling insults back and forth, it's kind of pointless.
    Anyway, thanks for answering.

    Dude, you are absolutely the most dishonest person I have ever seen on the MT.

    None of what you just wrote, in any way, shape or form; reflects the truth of what was going on in that thread.


    Basically, you're just a liar.

    Anyone can go into that thread and read what happened. it speaks for itself and your behavior is all the evidence anyone needs.

    Interstingly, I was the one that said (at least two times) that whether you believe me or not, it does not matter. That, i was just relaying the opinions of those who would know much better than you or I.

    Which of course was met with responses from you which demanded links and poor attempts at insults...towards me. Poor attempts...mind you:D

    Not to mention the hilarious threats you hurled:D

    Two more childish moments, then I'm done:

    Liar ....Liar...pants on fire

    :D

    you took the high road ... but you work for the UN so you must get some kind of requisite training or something ... :)

    Hehe, you blew my cover ;), just kidding it not like I have a secret job or anything like it. No there's no special training in that, however all of us, regardless of our positions (I'm a researcher) we have to try to always maintain our composure and be polite

    However, I'm curious as to exactly what kind of high road are we talking here? The easy or the diplomatical path, hopefully the latter, although some have accused the UN of taking the former ;)

    Poor innocent gue_barium. Always the victim. Always mistreated. Never the bride:D

    Sheesh....what a kook.

    the figurative high road ... the one when someone is baiting or goading you into losing your composure - you don't fall for it ... you take the high road

    Yeah go Rog, although I liked your prediction of an unforeseen champion. I guess if rain ever stops we'll find out.

    The only thing you tried, was to bullshit everyone. A poor attempt, at that.

    I think it's kind of ridiculous to chuck blame at the first person to explicitly insult someone else. There is a lot of implicit insulting that goes on here by those that would claim to be innocent. Little secret tremors, turn to quakes.

    Just a couple hostiles making an appearance today. Truthfully, it kind of annoyed me, and I tried to reason with them, but if hostility is the choice, i don't see the resolution.

    I just read through that thread and to me it was NMyTree who started the entire squabble. It was obvious he was baiting you , not the other way around. Then his buddies joined in the little childish ganging up on you. Screw em - if you dont agree with them then you are wrong and childish, especially if you defend yourself against their little snipes. Chumps.

    I think I did alright in ignoring them. And I've got to give thanks to Caterina in this thread. They used my replies to her as an excuse, and she came out and said she didn't think I was personally attacking her.

    CaterinaA - "That's what I hope too. I did not take it personally at all. I won't deny it, I'm very stubborn and I hate it when people disagree with me ;) (although I'll defend their right to disagree), but I did not feel a personal attack at my opinions.

    So, it's back to work for me
    Peace (and much love to you my dear polaris)"

    Yeah, as if that excuses your behavior and absolves you.

    If that's the evidence you choose to cling to, don't become a lawyer...lol

    As polaris said, it is in my blood as a UN worker to maintain my composture ;). Seriously, I did not felt attacked; however I thank those who felt I was being attacked for defending me. We should always debate in civilized manner, we'll agree on some issues disagree on others, but debating ideas is never wrong if respect is maintained.

    Peace for everybody, let's all get along :)

    Too bad a good thread has to be polluted by the incessant childish remarks of a few.

    It happens. Kind of like American television. :)

    Ah well.

    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
