Impressive. Two pages of non-pitting before 11 am. [QUOTE=bup] **John** , I don’t care what **Excalibre** thinks of me, because he’s not going to rest until he’s called everybody ignorant, but if you were impying me as one of the fools one shouldn’t suffer, that hurts, because I respect your opinion. [/QUOTE] I need to get around more, I guess. I haven’t seen **Excalibre** constantly calling people ignorant, and I read quite a few threads he participates in. Frankly, it’s nice to see someone who isn’t afraid to offend anyone with their sometimes un-PC opinions. I think we go too far out of our way to make sure we don’t offend anyone and compromise our own convictions in the process. **Excalibre** doesn’t do that. As for **John’s** comment, I don’t think it was leveled at you personally. I like the man, but he has that typical pubbie insecurity, always having to insult the liberals to feel better about himself ( 😉 ) ---

It’s entirely possible, although I haven’t really seen him support any Libertarian candidates. We see eye to eye on quite a few things, wildly disagree on others. Make of that what you will. ---

Hmm, what to do? On the one hand, I always look forward to **Excalibre’s** posts. Even when I disagree with him, they’re always well-written, and they’re very often chock full of fascinating stuff. On the other hand, I also really like **FinnAgain’s** posts, and look forward to reading them, too. I don’t know what grudge the two of them have against each other, but I’m sad that it exists. Oh well. Daniel ---

**LHoD** , you got into it recently with someone else I really liked. I’m not going to name them, there’s no need. I like both of you, and I kind of felt the same way. No real point to this post, just was gratified to see someone else felt that way, too.
