That is generally true of trolls like yourself. Maybe you're not as lacking in self-awareness as you appear to be.

Seriously. Anyone who gets hot and bothered looking at the cover of the LDS hymnal has far more serious problems to deal with than how many earrings they should wear or whether the movie they want to see is rated R.

But remember, we are dealing here primarily with liberals, and within that region of the human condition (essentially a condition of permanent adolescence), stretches of the imagination for polemical purposes such as this can be quite common.

bc was just referencing people who see sexual imagery in pipe organs.

Well, after all, they are "organs"...

I don't know, when I think of pricks, I see a few apologists.

You said before that you were pretty strongly conservative in your politics and personal philosophy, Bob.

Tell me something about that. Give me the gist, or an overview, of your political philosophy and general worldview.

I believe in limited government, more local control, lower and fairer taxes, equality of opportunity rather than equality of results, strong national defense but limited foreign entanglements and intervention, a welfare system designed to help people become self-sufficient rather than entrenching them in poverty. I could go on.

What else do you want to know?

Thanks - quite vague - but a good start. I can't make this part of my siggy, but its going to be brought up again next time I support or defend a classic conservative position on any economic, political, or social issue, and you come out swinging.

We'll talk again.

I've never come out swinging because you support conservative positions. I come out swinging when you act like an arrogant jerk, no matter the subject.

Bob, I'm quite aware that this is all bluff and bluster, and that you're hiding an agenda behind your always crytptic but never fully polished or fleshed out statements.

No one who has ever dealt with me in a civil manner and treated me with respect has ever been dealt a back hand by me. I have, indeed, given as good as I've received here (a means of responding to the provocations I receive here from which I have now retreated) but I've its also true that I've been treated with contempt, arrogance, and the most snotty, sanctimonious intellectual pomposity - as have all apologists who have ventured into the place - from the moment I came here and made my views known.

Well, that's in the past, but its the reality. If you ever do get around to making an intellectually substantive argument about anything here, perhaps we can have a meeting of the minds. All I've seen from you thus far, however, is the same old perfervid anti-Mormon bigotry, name calling, and high school cut-downs that have long been the coin of the realm here.
