What are you even talking about? My “comments” about other posters? You mean, where I’ve posted their own words claiming I’ve said things that I haven’t? Where I’ve posted their own words claiming I haven’t said things that I have? Where I’ve posted my own words, right next to their own words, where I’ve quoted the things I’ve said that they claim I haven’t?

That’s _rude_?  
On what planet?

Then you should probably recuse yourself from modding this thread Marley, because rather obviously not only did I mention the issue of the half century of precedent from my very first post, which Bricker claimed I did not do in his post 41, but my argument also included numerous other points besides the simple fact that the ICC was at issue, which Bricker also claimed did not happen in his post 41.  
If you think that’s accurate, and want to moderate me for pointing out the factual inaccuracies while pretending that’s rude, there’s a real problem here.

You mean, someone claimed I said something I did not, claimed I did not say something that I clearly did (repeatedly), I pointed out that fact and _I’m_ in the wrong for pointing it out? Do please explain the factual basis for your claims.
