I insist you put me on ignore. That way you won't be tempted to respond to my posts, and I won't have to even see your handle. You will become just a bad memory that will eventually fade away.
The above is part of AFP's original post, now deleted, then he edited his "delete" post to the current version.
Frankly, the mental image of AFP "insisting" that I ignore him was so funny that I couldn't help but goad him a bit more, so he could keep stamping his foot. Ignoring him is actually pretty easy but he keeps lauching these not so veiled attacks. For my response to his "insisting" that I ignore him, I apologize to my fellow campfirers for goading him on. Can you hear the stamping of those feets? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Unlike you, AFP, I don't insult people behind their backs, nor do I post private discussions or parts thereof, which is one of the several reasons why I want no private communications with you, now or ever. I choose not to communicate with certain ego types if at all possible. If I choose to insult someone, I do it upfront and where everyone can see it. I never attacked you personally or your veracity regarding those posts where you claimed to have such deep insight into Iraq because of your military experience and intelligence access. You remember, the ones where you said that the non-military critics of the war were "irrelevant". I didn't attack those posts of yours, even though they often flew in the face of common sense and military thinking, because I had no way of knowing what you had actually seen. However, what goes around comes around and now, your area Commander in Chief, has commented on the gist of what was in those intelligence reports as well as his opinion of the effectiveness of the no fly zones. Not surprisingly, they are nearly direct opposites of what you had posted. You should have remembered Joe Friday's dictum.
When I and other posters became "irrelevant" because we didn't know what you knew in your military position, I didn't question your veracity. My mistake. And, Mr. Paranoia, I won't insult you behind your back, I do it in the open. Nor do I run to Rick Bin, complaining that my tender feelings have been hurt.
BTW, "afraid of you." It is to laugh.
And, Rick, he leaves me alone, I'll leave him alone. He posts BS as he is wont to do, I'm going to prove it wrong, as I am wont to do.
