(...) Nuts. I thought you were calling the words incoherent. Anyhow, I posted that as an attempt to show the ill effects of the emotionally charged language some people use in here. I don't have the energy to produce those kinds of words on my own. (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I'm confused by that. Is it a public site or not? You'd get the feeling that Scott is embarassed by his work.

(...) A number? No. An example of their cruel, savage barbarism? Yes. War is different. Basically in war, you are saying to your enemy, "Surrender to us, or we probably will kill you." Even at any time in war, surrender is an option and the killing (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I've always associated "disturbed" with Dave! But not in a serious, bad way. More of a good way. I don't see him as rabid, I see him more as "consistent". Some of his premises are fallacious, but he's mostly on the side of the angels, as they (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
