I thought you were asking Hawkeye to justify his claims with some evidence. I hadn't realised you'd decuded to turn your guns on Firefly.

Well, someone let me know if the thread stops feeding every little non salient
word by the obsessive arguers.

It is hamsters routinely voting down my posts, presumably to make the point that my views are not considered worthy of A2K. Too bad, Robert cheapens A2K by allowing staff to log stealth editorial evaluations. This place could do better at promoting free speech and examination of the topics of the day, as well as at exercising transparency by clearly noting where staff as made evaluations of the value of the posts found here. Better places tell staff that their personal opinions must be put by the side and not voiced, so that the contributors can debate on a level playing field, but alas America is not as civilized as we used to be, there are not many places of such quality around.

There is no other explanation for the vast majority of my posts being voted down one with-in two minutes of post, over months, no matter what time of the day I post or what day I post. Very rarely do I get voted down more later either, to make it more than one. It does not matter what I say either, as this vote down is not based upon the words contained in the post.

Robert knows the truth, my comments here are directed to him and his failure to provide better guidelines for staff. I see no need to argue the point further.

@hawkeye10,

you simply fail to believe that as soon as "we" see the drivel you post, one of "us" votes it down.

a zero is as good as a -6 most times.

your **** has worn thin on most of us, you simply refuse to see the forest for the trees.

paranoia will destroy ya.

just not soon enough for my taste...

@Rockhead,

I am not shocked to see you here rocking Firefly's customary tactic of speaking under the assumption that your audience is both malleable and stupid.

@hawkeye10,

only if you are my audience...

beware the hamsters, chump.

I'm done here. I am unwillingly lending credence to your presence by communicating with your sorry ass.

toodles.

U think it shud have been armored ?

U know, for REAL, I have seen motorcycles fitted out with .22 caliber tail guns!
Thay were (miniature) belt-fed machine guns!

I dunno, but I suspect that Barry was not so equipped.
( U c what happens when people wander around unarmed ? )

Do thay have a lot of those in England, Izzy ?
Is that required equipment ?

Osso, it seems to me
that A2K is built in large part for the acccomodation of people who enjoy argument.

"Argument is the piecing together of evidentiary fact,
in combination with the ordinary rules of logic and rhetoric." (author not remembered)

"Arguments shed light, whereas quarrels shed heat." (author also not remembered)

Maybe some other time.

OK, so now I know the reason
for my not getting a response (yet, anyway).

We r not FIGHTing, Izzy.
I look upon our discussion of this subject as pleasant and congenial
in an ambiance of intellectual tranquility.

So far as I can remember, Firefly has always been polite in our conversation
and neither of us has ever descended to any hurling of ad hominem abuse at the other.
My only characterizations of her were those of genuine admiration, not gunning for her.

I was only hoping to elicit comments i.e., Firefly 's point of vu, upon the videos of experts
( an ex-Criminal Defense Attorney current Law Professor and a senior Police Officer-lawyer ) concerning the wisdom
of offering statements to the police in America. This is so because to MY mind their counsel is, if not dispositively probative,
then at least cogent on the subject and I am enthusiastic to hear counter-arguments in favor of Firefly's contrasting point of vu,
which tacitly implies that one shud indeed give statements to the police.

Because I have come to respect and to admire Firefly's professional sagacity, acumen and discernment,
I hope to hear argument in support of her philosophy on this point (but not to turn my guns on her).

I LIKE fireflys; thay r charming.

Of course they wait. If they didn't, there wouldn't be a herd, they would be strung out all over the place.
