    Re: Nothing personal, but... —Scott Arthur
   (...) Youch, an insult. (...) Youch, an insult. (...) You are wrong on this. I am asking you to justify you quoting of a *fact*. (...) As you well know this is not my point. It is absolutely not my point. As I have said time and time again, I have (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —Christopher L. Weeks
     Hi, My name is Christopher Weeks and I'm a debateoholic. Even when I know I shouldn't both responding, I find my fingers doing their inevitable dance on the keyboard. I just can't stop myself... (...) It sounds an awful lot like "infantile insults" (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —Scott Arthur
     (...) Am I wrong for saying this? Or is Larry wrong for tossing insults about? (...) Nope. From his message: (...) Is so, why is he so unwilling to admit that it was a pure fabrication? (...) I shall quote myself from my last message in this thread (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —Tom Stangl
      (...) HUNCH. Do you know what that word means? Obviously not. (...) What about the word HUNCH do you not understand? Once again, as usual, you've latched onto one word or phrase in a post and pounded it into the ground, ignoring the entire post (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —Scott Arthur
     (...) Tom, If it was a HUNCH, Larry needs to make it clear that it was a complete fabrication - not dress it up as fact. Read the text I quoted again - does it sound like a hunch. When Larry said he was "unwilling" to tell us all where he found the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —Duane Hess
      (...) OK, here's some personal data from my observations. All AFOLs (10) that I have met (granted, a small sampling) in person have been white. Of those, one was a female. According to November 1, 2000 US Government Census estimates: (URL) of the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

         Re: The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —David Eaton
     Y'know, the odd thing is I usually find Scott's remarks to be rather arguing the absurd, but I will admit that he's not wrong. Just pointless. (...) You're absoloutely right. Larry should indeed indicate that his statistics for the countries he was (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Scott and Larry show (was: Nothing personal, but...) —Scott Arthur
      I agree with you Dave. I think actual question I am asking Larry is very minor. But the reason I am asking the question which is important. As I have said time and time again, I have become tired Larry making assertions and accusations which he (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Nothing personal, but... —Scott Arthur
     (...) Larry, You really are being obtuse. We could all speak many truths about many users here, but most of us do not - as we know it is insulting and because we are civil.

         Re: Nothing personal, but... —Christopher L. Weeks
      (...) Wellll, one of you are anyway. (...) How so? (...) What consensus is that? What I think is that he made an educated guess. When you are quoting government statistics, those are also educated guesses. So his statistic is as valid as the numbers (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) Below this line, you quote his stating that it was a hunch. What the hell more do you want from him. He stated clearly that it was just a hunch. (...) What the F are you talking about?
