Fine, I’ll try to chime in more often when people are responding to you with idiocy. There’s often not much to add, however.

Let’s take a moment to examine what a colossal, sniveling pussy Bricker is. In threads where he’s losing because an argument, like in the voter ID thread, and this one, the liberals are out to get him, because liberals don’t flock to his defense when someone says something that Bricker finds distasteful, or that he feels lacks intellectual rigor. It’s self-pity and a victimization mentality. He’s as bad as any of the “welfare cases” he disdains so much. Nothing is Bricker’s fault.\* Look at those liberals trying to keep me down!\* Bricker doesn’t want society to be an even playing field, since he supports attempts to keep poor people from voting. He even laughs about it. But he simultaneously wants this board to treat him equitably because he deserves it. Of course, in reality, the board does treat him equitably, except when he makes arguments that amount to drivel. Like in this thread where he pretends that most liberals want the tyranny of ex post facto laws, or in the voter ID thread where he argues that a solution that makes the problem worse is good policy. Bricker, buddy, someone pointing out a shitty argument you made isn’t the board oppressing you. It’s an attempt to work reason into that vapid skull of yours. \<3 ---

In truth, he’s not being treated fairly. This is largely because he’s outnumbered 10-1 in every debate here (which, if you think is fun, you should try it), but also he’s much more even-handed and magnanimous to the other side than most posters: acknowledging the limits and uncertainties of his position, pointing out ways in which his argument could be shown to fail, seldom \*overtly \*dismissive or rude absent a lot of provocation, etc. It’s not at all unnatural that he’d be annoyed when others don’t treat him as well, even if in a perfect world he’d take it with total equanimity and spend more time dealing with the less unreasonable posters. > [@](#): > > It’s self-pity and a victimization mentality.

He even laughs about it. But he simultaneously wants this board to treat him equitably because he deserves it. You’re really all over the place here. You can favor a reduction in entitlement spending without hating poor people, and Voter ID laws, while being a solution in search of a problem – and even largely tied to suspect motives on the parts of legislators who support them – are _prima facie_ not unreasonable. If I’d spent my whole life in this society but somehow had absolutely no idea how voting worked, I would assume you had to show ID. I’m not in favor, but you hardly have to be a cackling monster to think that people should have to be able to demonstrate their identity in order to vote. But it’s nice that you’ve developed a Grand Unified Theory of Bricker, I guess. ---

I’m confident I’ve done right by Bricker. Any time I said he was being stupid was adequately preceded by him being stupid. I consider it a matter of honour. ---

Bricker, however laughs when you suggest poor people have to spend hours getting an ID. He disdains them because he thinks he’s well off because of hard work, and they’re poor because of laziness. > [@](#): > > , and Voter ID laws, while being a solution in search of a problem – and even largely tied to suspect motives on the parts of legislators who support them – are _prima facie_ not unreasonable.

I’m not in favor, but you hardly have to be a cackling monster to think that people should have to be able to demonstrate their identity in order to vote. I’m not against voter ID. I’m against voter ID implemented in a way that gives electoral advantage to one party. Make an honest effort to get IDs in hands first, and I’m fine with it. Voter ID itself isn’t bad. But the way Bricker approves of its uses is bad. > [@](#): > > But it’s nice that you’ve developed a Grand Unified Theory of Bricker, I guess.

> [@Lobohan](#): > > He is like that sometimes. Other times, on certain issues, he’s a crazy person. I don’t want to spend too much more time talking about **Bricker** , but I guess the larger point would be: Sure, some of his posts and arguments are not as good as some of his others, but that’s the case with everybody. I assure you, I’ve occasionally been less than impressed with your ideas over the years. The difference is that when you, or I, post something that’s arguably stupid, we don’t immediately have 20 people jumping up & down on us, 5 of whom are bleating borderline incoherent anti-facts. I probably wouldn’t last long in that situation, and it’s not surprising that sometimes a debate will tend to degrade under those circumstances. There’s also the well-established tendency for people to assume the worst about people they disagree with, which means we should treat as suspect any such judgment and try to self-correct. So, I think it would be best to try and cut \*\*Bricker \*\*some slack. I mean, we should cut almost everyone some more slack, but you gotta start somewhere. ---

I want a poster, or a wallpaper, King Leonidas kicking the Persian ambassador into the Big Hole and screaming “THIS…IS…THE **PIT**!!!” We got a tended reservation for the relentlessly polite, GD, mods on duty armed with well-worn Sister Mary Censorious steel rulers.

But at this point I’m not sure Bricker can _tell_ when someone is offering a serious rebuttal, when someone is dicking around, and when someone is occupying some grey area in the midst of all that. And if my memory is at all reliable\* I think Bricker has offered some posts in the past that came from a place more of emotion than reason. That’s cool.
