Deflect heat? Hell…when it gets hot…I stay in the kitchen. 🆒 ---

Friend **Reeder** is not delicate. I’d like to borrow his hide if I ever got into a knife fight with a rhinoceros. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > Friend **Reeder** is not delicate. I’d like to borrow his hide if I ever got into a knife fight with a rhinoceros. It’s not so much that. Words from people I care about mean something to me. You have to care what a person thinks. But for most people on this board…especially those that jump on the bandwagon. Don’t mean shit to me. ---

> [@duffer](#): > > Based on the posts I’ve seen, I assume you’re studying under **Reeder** and trying to deflect heat away from him in an attempt to hijack the title of most batshit poster? No, I was objecting to the fact that Manhattan and some others have tried to discredit posters like Reeder with ad hominem attacks rather than actually refuting their points. Not that I’m surprised though… Bush did the same thing to Kerry. ---

Pal, I hate Bush’s policies with the fires of a thousand suns. I think his approach to problems is simplistic and places too much faith in his subordinates. And I think Reeder earns those ad hominems with every ‘I read that Bush keeps his weenie on the left! He’s saying that liberals are dicks!’ thread. Again, for Christ’s sake, there’s a million fucking things to bash Bush about…by running with half-assed blog shit you’re doing nothing but discrediting your ability to argue in other threads. ---

I didn’t bash Bush. I just asked what he was doing. ---

You have no credibility to make that statement at all. You’ve completely burned any goodwill you might have with, let’s admit, too many meaningless bashing threads. You are, in the end, political sound and fury…signifying nothing. ---

No question about it. He burped. That’s what you do when you burp in mid-sentence. You look down and try to be discreet about it. ---

Not that I’m surprised though… Bush did the same thing to Kerry. Son, that wasn’t ad hominem. It would have been, but frankly the guy ain’t worth the Latin.
