No, you began with a statement that I think was intended to imply quite
specifically that I am a whining child.  It was also in direct reply to my
own post.

As it turns out, I don't take offense because I don't even know you nor do I
care what you think.  But please admit when you are making, or attempting to
make, personal attacks.  You could have stayed on point, but you chose not
to -- you chose to make it personal instead.

Larry chose to end his reply with a kind of personal attack also (this is
the guy that is allowed to moderate and curate newsgroups here and on
bricklink?).

James posed a famous trick question that cannot be answered yes or no
without admitting fault (in this case the *really sweet* assertion that I
beat women).

I might disagree with some of the views stated by Larry P., James B., or
even those of Erik O. but I don't think I go out of my way to insult them
personally.  Maybe there is some confusion about the word "apologist" -- it
merely means "A person who argues in defense or justification of something,
such as a doctrine, a policy, or an institution."

Anyway, I don't see why some of you choose to attack me personally for my
views.  Disagree with my opinions, mount your own arguments, etc. -- no problem.

Get in my face and we have a problem.

Frankly, I am not sure why some of you are not banned from posting for
failure to keep a civil tongue when replying to others' posts.

(...) Hmm. I didn't intend it to be a statement of your character - I've seen enough of your posts to know you're intelligent enough to see it for exactly what it was - "a famous trick question". I was highlighting, admittedly in an oblique way, (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

It was a rhetorical question. Present audience excepted, but if the shoe fits, wear it. I'm sorry I got into this. The thing that gets me angry is whingers who reason like "it's so easy, X must be stupid for not doing it." (example: molding parts.) (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
