less than 1 in 10 of my posts is even addressed to alex.
Maybe you're just having an off day today then mush. I've just clicked on your "show all posts" and pretty much every post on the entire page is devoted to flaming me.

well i just did the same alex, and i could only find these: "sorry al, i should have figured you'd want your own category." "yes, that it would. i actually think that debates with annapurna are even more ludicrous than those with alex, but at least she doesn't come around here as much." "i propose that Alex123 is banned on account that his skills of cognition and critical reading suggest that he is certainly not 18 years of age." "you just took alexism to a whole new level. great totally irrelevant, off-topic posting! keep it up!" while i apologize for these comments, as they were a tad personal, i think you would be hard pressed to find any more examples to back up a claim that "pretty much every" post has been about bashing alex.

You just don't get it, EVERYONE who disagrees with Alex is flaming him or out to get him or follows him around or is a rabid right winger or holds a grudge. Never, ever in his mind is he ever wrong or mistaken (it least appears that this is the way he feels).
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

What else can you call this but a flame? It's nothing to do with anything but your tired old grudge against me is it.
I don't respond to any of your posts from one month to the next. Why not do the same to me and then there'll be no problem. Challenge yourself.

I really doubt it's a grudge. For most of us who make fun of you, it's out of the need for a good laugh, rather than any kind of hatred. We all know you're harmless.

Delusions are hard to shake, eh Alex? I will offer a challenging response at my discretion to you or anyone else who I feel is making inane assertions or following lines of pseudo-reasoning which are devoid of any semblance of logic. If you can avoid such things, do not expect a response from me unless I agree with you or intend to bolster your arguments. Deal?

In other words the grudge is too strong to let go.
Whatever. It must be tiring for you.

alex, you've been here a long time. you have over 3700 posts. throughout your history here, you have established yourself as the type to say things like *england once controlled 75% of the world*, and *for 99% of human existance, government did not exist*. we've seen you say that almost EVERY 'law expert' agrees with your interpretation of the second amendment. you've claimed that 'almost every' post of my last 20 were about flaming you... sorry al, but you do have a history of making wild claims that simply do not hold water. worse even, you have not once retracted any statement when proven wrong. and we've all witnessed your debate tactics before, which more often than not rely on off-topic quibbling and dragging a thread into meaningless argumentation... i could go on. what i'm trying to say is that it's not that we do not like you. realistically, we don't even know you. what we grow tired of it your debate tactics and your insistance that your wisdom is infallible. this post is not a flame. i just want to help you understand why many of us take issue with your arguments, ideas, and tactics of debate. don't take it personally. maybe if you weren't so closely tied to your ideas, you'd see that attacks on your ideas are not the same as attacks on you.

Do you have one of these "challenging responses" handy? All you've posted in this thread is the same stuff you've already posted a thousand times before about how much you don't like me.
I'm a complete stranger to you - get over it. Let it go. You're the only one it hurts.

Is there any reason to keep this thread open? I really hate seeing threads turn into flame wars and it looks like this one is heading in that direction.

for 99% of human existance, government did not exist
I asked you this in the other thread and you never answered. Define what government exists in hunter-gatherer society. You said you were going to read up on it. You clearly havn't got round to it yet.
you'd see that attacks on your ideas are not the same as attacks on you.
What attacks on my ideas have you ever made? Could you give me a single example? Why don't you prove to me exactly what government existed in hunter-gatherer society instead of your endless boring flames?
Then I could at least respect your position. As it is, there is nothing to respect

here, this was the last post made before this whole thing turned into a flame war. maybe this thread can get back on track:
mushmaster:
"alex, i suppose that by refuting your claim that america sells weapons to its enemies, I am indeed making the claim, "america does not sell weapons to its enemies".
however, a closer look will reveal that this is only true if our veiwpoints are mutually exclusive.
"america selling weapons to it's enemies" vs. "america not selling weapons to its enemies" are only mutually exclusive events if we share the same definitions.
i suspect that we do not. if "enemy" to me means a nation we are currently at war with, while an "enemy" to you means a non-democratic regime or human rights abuser, then we are both correct in our claims.
however, what we are really talking about is not my definition or your definition of "enemy" but Innvertigo's definition. this can all be cleared up quite simply.
Inny, what did you mean by "enemy" when you said, "i don't think we should EVER threaten Canada. (unless ofcourse they actually supplied our enemies with weapons, which they would NEVER do.)"? "

... please Please PLEASE Alex, give a link, just one single link where it can be shown that I stated how much I don't like you. I think Mushmaster summed it up quite nicely about our interactions on this board. Please think about it.

So you are happy to see arms sold to any country on earth the US is not currently at war with.

i stated my beliefs about arms sales in this thread. read the last sentence. i will repeat that what matters is not my definition of "enemy", nor your definition of enemy, but innvertigo's definition of enemy. i was trying to approximate what i thought invertigo meant by "enemy".

Don't you find this boring?
I've paid no attention to you for months. Why not do the same for me? Is it that hard?
You've established you don't like me - many hundreds of times. Surely it's clear exactly how much I care about your opinion?
Is there any way for you to come to terms with this? Start a new thread if you like and pin it - "I don't like Alex and he talks rubbish". Just do something to get over this petty shit and stop wasting everyones time.
