Arnold stated:

"So I was unaware of her [Joan Opyr] challenge until now. My obvious answer
is no. The reason why is because I am the only regular poster on V2020 that
counters the BS posted by the Nasty Nine. Leaving eight of the Nasty Nine to
freely post bigotry, disgusting remarks, and illogical arguments would be
down right irresponsible."

Let me translate for the fine people on this listserve.




"So I was unaware of her [Joan Opyr] challenge until now. My obvious answer
is no." 

This translates to:

My limited knowledge and lack of maturity prohibit me [Arnold] from
responding in a logical and reasonable fashion.  As such, I can only reply
with a resounding "Uh-uh".




"The reason why is because I am the only regular poster on V2020 that
counters the BS posted by the Nasty Nine."

This translates to:

My open willingness for mature and responsible dialogue clearly reflect my
limitless tolerance as I oppose those arguments of the Nasty Nine, founded
strictly on logic and reality.  And besides, Dale won't let me use any of
his anonymous tags.




"Leaving eight of the Nasty Nine to freely post bigotry, disgusting remarks,
and illogical arguments would be down right irresponsible."

This translates to:

In my shallow opinion you guys have been acting like total ignoramuses
incapable of any mental stimulation or mature and responsible dialogue.  Now
it's my turn.


And you are so, so right, Arnold.

Take care, Moscow.

are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say
about their cause, but what they say about their opponents."
