It has nothing to do with "New York opinions." As i have pointed out repeatedly, i am a native of New York. I do not employ "ad hominems," you once again display your ignorance. I don't dismiss what you write by attacking you personally, i dismiss what you write by pointing in detail that you are wrong, and why you are wrong. The personal remarks i make about your idiocy thereafter are simply the entertainment which goes with the effort.
Nobody here "gangs up" on you. When i point out that you don't know a goddamned thing about history, and when i point out where you are wrong, no one else comes along to jump on you. You are indulging self-pity and paranoia now, and that does not surprise me.
As for the rest of that drivel, i can only observe that you really are very pathetic.
Since I never question the veracity of your many historical facts, what motivates you to be the editor of my posts? Who annointed you keeper of the threads? Most posts are my opinions, and are colored by my set of experiences, and my living in a culture that has taught me a different set of beliefs, than perhaps your culture has. You can choose not to set me straight, so to speak, other than pointing out that you believe I am wrong. But, you take my wrongness personally, it appears to me.
So, you should not take my posts, responding to your posts, as a personal affront, since I do consider you an archetype of a specific New York demographic of a bygone era (the 21st century version perhaps). There are likely any numbers of Setanta Post Alikes in cyberspace, with your education, your beliefs, and your sensitivities. You do know that Patrick Moynihan was a sociology professor at City College, before he entered the public arena. He wrote a textbook about NYC ethnic groups. That is why I have these thoughts relating to archetypes.
However, there are likely very few archetypal Foofies.
I am guessing that since you do not care for my presence, I am the recipient of some non-complimentary thoughts from you. I too do not care for your presence; however, I do not act out, so to speak, nor do I feel it is ethical to try to get you to leave by sending non-complimentary thoughts in your direction.
Enjoy.
P.S. I think of my posts as "memes" that I am sending out to cyberspace. Therefore, when it is addressed to a specific person, it is really meant for all to read and possibly ruminate over if they are not too closed minded. I am not trying to impress anyone with my knowledge of this or that, or pose as a heavy weight, so to speak.
