hiti says:
"As to your second rule... allow me to draw attention to the fact I never discussed the messenger which in this case was Margo".

Actually, the messenger was Terry Jones whom you referred to as an "idiot". Terry's assistant messenger if you will - was Margo whom you referred to as "hebitudinous". Neither reference refers to the "message". Both are personal and refer to the messengers.

You characterized Terry's "message" as "Bush and American bashing" without stating a single example of where his satire was off the mark in your opinion. That may not offend the rules of rational discussion in your mind but I can assure you that it does in my view and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

When you can't or won't deal with the rationale behind opposition to the US's actions in Iraq you immediately label the opponents as "Bush/America bashers". Well that tactic doesn't work with me and I sincerely hope it doesn't work with any other rational being whether they support the US or not.

Finally, while I am admittedly an old cynic, I'm not cynical enough to believe that your irrational tactics do your cause more help than good. Accordingly, keep it up! I will of course respond appropriately if I think it will help.
