Queer made a claim about MY views on homosexual rights in a completely unrelated thread. I asked him to provide proof of this claim.

You are right, we have been down this road before, and flamw wars have resulted. But whose fault is that, RW? Again, take off the partisan blinders and think about this objectively for once. On many occasions, here is how it plays out: Queer makes a claim, I ask for proof. He throws a temper tantrum, attacks me, and the flame war is on. He could simply provide proof to back up his claim, but he doesn't.

If you're going to place blame for a flame war, that blame falls directly at Queer's feet. Instead of whining at me for challenging Queer to provide proof for a claim he has made, why not call Queer out for making an unsubstantiated claim in the first place?

I didn't miss any "point", because you didn't have one.

ST, I'll answer it publicly. You and Queer have already been down this road before. I remember reading it. And it's probably come up more times than that. And you also know very well what happened before -- disagreement, anger, flames, no resolution. I find it hard to believe that you expect to trod down this road and achieve a different outcome than before. So, to me, it looks very much like you're trying to press Queer's buttons just to get a rise out of him and possibly try to position yourself better than in previous disputes with him. That's why I asked you if you were trolling.

I wouldn't have even made a peep about it, normally. I mean, who cares if you want to get a rise out of someone. But the thing is, you have a history of complaining profusely about how others are "trolling", whatever you perceive the definition of "trolling" to be. So don't expect that you can get away with it without being called on it.

RW
