Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
Ever notice that "post imperial" European ruling class (and their lackeys) are just as certain as ever that they have the moral right to rule the world?

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
Oh?
I thought your buddy Steyn's point here was that Europe is being overrun by the Muslim hordes and that we are too busy at our Eurinals and too politically correct to resist that. So what is it: Europe wants to rule the world or Europe is getting soft and puts up no resistance to the Islamification?

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
Golly, teh intertubes contain a proudly stupid troll. How utterly novel and unforeseen. I must have Alka-Selzer to deal with the psychic shock of it all.

Is this in reply to my post? I didn't realize you consider people here enemies. Is that what you mean by blood-feuders: people who are your enemies, to whom you wish to give gas?

Ah, the coup de grace! "I'm just laughing watching you get all emotional. Because you see, I'm above it, you losers!"
Sanctimonious, witless and utterly unoriginal. Classy.

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
Hey what can you say about folks whose national purpose is to drag the rest of us down with them?
So called "Muslim hordes" just make their job easier.

So the whole blood feud enemies thing was a joke?

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
No not a joke.
I think there is a real blood feud and I felt like stirring the shit a little.
Contention at the other two venues, but no blood feud. Or not as noticeable.

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
Okay, then could you reply to my post at the bottom of page 1, because I don't understand what you mean by blood feud and I'd appreciate a clarification.
Also, do you genuinely think you have enemies here? Maybe I'm not reading the right threads, but I've never even seen you get into any kind of vigorous flamewar before so the enemies list comes out of left field to me. You've said Stormlight isn't on it, despite his being one of those Eurinal types you apparently share Steyn's contempt for, so who is?

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
I'm not going to do an explicit "enemies list" and I'll admit that bit is over-the-top.
But I do see a hatred that transcends any particular political position, though it may be correlated with one.
I think that's enough.

Uh-oh. A "real" blood feud. How many have been killed so far in the cycle of violence?

A hatred of what? The US in general? Or those that support the US administration?
I still don't get it.

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
Me either. Three people posted substantive rebuttals to Steyn's piece, one person called him an idiot, one person called his readership morons. This is a blood-feud? It seems to me that Abdul's flipping those posters the bird, crowing about their putative intestinal discomfort and describing them as his enemies is far closer to a "blood feud" mentality than calling one silly pundit an idiot.

Damn, at least get some real drugs, Abdul. Huffing and posting don't sort well together.

You got that right. There's a dude arguing that admission of new States under Article IV beyond the original 13 is an example of U.S. "imperialism." That's a hell of lot more ridiculous than simply criticizing Mark Steyn. Hopefully you're mounting an effective counteroffensive against that particular "enemy."

Re: Independence (Mark Steyn)
At scepticalcommunity the post was immediately recognized as woo-crankery; the thread died promptly. (Though not before Doctor X contributed two content-free picture posts c/w accusation of gayness; who could have foreseen such a thing?)
So I'm not seeing how it "played" much differently. Does the relevant notion of "enmity" not extend to those who clearly judged the OP to be more or less the result of having sticky keys on the keyboard?

This is a derail, but that's not exactly what that guy at JREF argued, nor does his point seem obviously ridiculous to me.
