This is some delusional loon along the lines of Kathaksung that apparently feels the need to share his delusions with the world. At least I limit my delusions to SDMB. (until I get booted) ---

> [@Libertarian](#): > > Unfortunately, you do not limit your flames to the Pit. I will accept whatever punishment is appropriate, including leaving, if that is required. But I really don’t think this comment was a “Flame” I think it was more of an observation. Are you so consumed and preoccupied by the tax structure and psuedo ultra right wing politics that you cannot be bothered to notice that this same OP has been posted all over the web. It is not only nonsensical but it is offensive, and I am not even christian. Oh well, you did attack Babs for no reason, I guess I should expect you to defend a one time wonder for no reason as well. Lib, your loosing ground, in my book anyway. There are plenty of reasons to insult me, not the least is that I am pretty stupid, but this comment by you was less than intelligent.
