is that Christian Yoga?
Blackwood: you were fast with the “quote” button, there. I deleted the bulk of my post right after I posted it. Not because I disagree with myself (that does happen occasionally), but because I am trying to give it a rest already.

Fair enough, I would hate to see you argue with yourself 
If you don’t accept a distinction between what is said and how it’s said, fine, but I have been trying to make that distinction.
Even if you’re right in everything you say, it’s not acceptable to burp at the table.
If this comment means “It’s rude to discuss politics in mixed company”, then that, too, is a flame directed at the entirely acceptable content of Jack’s posts. If it doesn’t mean the above, what does it mean?
I think the issue is not content, but behavior. It’s rude not to listen to what others are saying and to twist their points into absurd proposition (I’ve written about this in another thread). That sort of thing is entirely unrelated to politics, and it would come up the same way if he only discussed music (see Talsagia, whose behavior is deprecated although most of his posts are “on topic” of sorts) or if it were just fluff (see Tyler Morris, whose being criticized). I have some right in saying this because I’ve had a couple of juicy spats with Gilder now, never even touching on a political opinion.
(this just to explain myself, I’m outa here.)
You saw through it, heh? As a matter of fact, Blackwood, yes, I was implying that you and Jack are a couple. A couple of decent chaps who, in a real pub, would probably join me in lifting a pint and sharing a few good laughs. There wouldn’t be any rancor, because we know that there are still plenty of things to be agreed upon, and for the sake of our friendship we would look for those similarities rather than dwelling upon our petty differences.
So, in the spirit of friendship, I call upon all Chiffsters within the sound of my voice to raise your glass high and join me in a toast to that which brought us together on this board:

Gilder… take you tongue out of your cheek … those who can’t stand to deal civily are at fault… are you going to be one of them?
The fault is that some people simply cannot have anyone disagree with them. You are not one of those, in my experience. You, like many of us, don’t like it when someone who disagrees stoops to calling names, assuming motives and accusing, instead of providing serious rebutal.
Take it with a grain of salt, learn how avoid undue dismissal of your posts, and carry on carrying on. Please.
If that necessitates a break, then take one. Don’t worry about the piranah, … they’ll find someone else to chew on, trust me! 
There ya go!
I didn’t mean to suggest jGilder take a prolonged break. I just meant for today or for right now, like we could all use. Just wanted to clarify that.
I got 4. I am ashamed.
Edit: 5 now.
You’re all fibbing. I tried for twenty minutes and couldn’t get more than two. What’s going on here?

Stay with it, Steve. BE the paper.
I didn’t mean to imply that you ever called me a troll or said you hate my topics either… did you like my floating yogi piccie?
Ooh, for once I didn’t have the lowest score in something! I got 5 too! 
Right yer buggers. You’ve really got my gander up now. Just you wait till I try it again tomorrow sober. Just WAIT… splutter… 
Steve
seven.
Hey Steve, did you notice the fan that likes to blow the darn wad of paper off course? I’m only asking because I couldn’t get any either until I noticed it there 
I noticed the fan all right (belatedly I admit), but I failed to take notice of the wind speed. Tomorrow… and can any of you officially verify your claims? HA!
Steve (too honest for his own good)
Seems like Amar and Denny were the ones who went to bed together… just an observation.
Fourteen. (After playing for about two minutes.) 
14… man, now I’ve got a goal.
