Geezer - It wasn't a private request. It was a public request on the Kerry Kid thread, if memory serves.

Think of all the different words SignyM could have used that have the same meaning and are talking about the same thing -
to follow Geezer's posts over time
to mentally tally Geezers' posts over time
to compare Geezer's posts over time
to study Geezer's posts over time
to observe Geezer's posts over time

And you focused on ONE WORD - track. It doesn't matter to you than when people 'track' something with their eyes it means 'follow'. Or that when people 'track' their stocks it means 'observe'. You, with your one 'track' mind chose to think it means stalk - hunt down. And your fellow idiots are now following your 'track'. Thats' why you're a fucking idiot. And so are they.

Oh, come on! If any one else here cried that they were "taken way out of context" after they'd (apparently privately) asked that someone's posts be 'tracked', you'd be raising the Police State flag. So when do you start tapping my phone?

What do you mean: "Acting in favor of rhetoric"?? On the face of it, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

You know your misquoting folks is part of the reason people stop talking to you.

Fletch2- I'm not misquoting, I really don't understand what Finn meant. That's why I asked. But if you know what Finn meant please enlighten me.

---

Quote:

---

Well I don't speak for Finn, or even agree with his analysis but what he said was pretty clear.
Finn's contention is that Europe favours action via multinational entities such as the UN as an excuse for inaction. Ie, they can CLAIM to be against something, do all the posturing and sabre rattling they need to do to look tough, safe in the knowledge that bodies like the UN will never agree to authorise anything.
The crucial thing is to look at the complete sentence, it is not "Acting in favor of rhetoric." It is the failier to act, and instead to favour rhetoric.

---

Quote:

---

So, will either Finn or Fletch explain the statement about acting on rhetoric?

---

Quote:

And my questions never get answered. Sigh. Story of my life. I was hoping Finn would illuminate his comment because it puzzles me greatly, but if anyone else wants to take a crack at it, feel free.

All you had to do was look up three posts. Apparently you are blind as well as stupid.

Where? I looked up three posts from Finn's post and from THIS post and I don't see anything that applies. So, I'm blind. Give me a key word to "edit- find on this page".
BTW- I REALLY don't think I deserve your snark. I asked a question, I can't find the answer. What's your problem?

Quote:

---

Oh, okay I see it. But Fletch2, have you ever considered anger management classes?

---

Quote:

Okay, it was a true misdunderstanding on my part, I just couldn't make the original sentence make sense. Now it does, thanks.

May I be honest? I KNOW I'm gonna catch hell for this but... Most of you seem quite fearful: fearful the mildest form of social controlo, which is simply to be noticed and remembered by your peers. Fearful of standing behind your own words. A lot of you who would freely apply tasers and surviellance to others suddenly whither if just a LITTLE potentially unfavorable attention comes your way.

I apologize for choosing the wrong word. I simply meant "remember" or "study over time" but I was in a hurry chose a word with unfavorable conotations. Now, if you want worry about it in the context of a discussion among a bunch of geeks on an open forum- feel free.

You have a very interesting pathology. You are completely convinced of your own magnificent infallability and you become beligerent to anyone that questions it. First you get obtuse, then you nit-pick and then you get insulting. You're kind of a 3 step plan. When you are still browbeating folk and picking through their posts you seem to think you are winning the argument, when the insults fly is when you know you've lost.
