City-Data has terms of service that state: NO personal attacks.

You might want to read up on that yourself and to take your own advice. After all, you chose to make a lame, wild accusation against me in one of your more recent posts.

And sorry....I hope this doesn't come as too much of a shock to you, but you don't get to decide who participates in the threads that you start, or the ones in which you post

Here is one for you. It's called 'projection'. I don't support Palin, but I do support her right to have an opinion that may be different from mine.
He'd probably agree with Palin's statement that perhaps the bush villages should be relocated (i.e., the people should be dumped off in Anchorage).

That statement does not relate my opinion and it is WRONG for you to project that onto me.

Sorry, it doesn't fly.

Sarah Palin did make such a statement and much of what you have posted on this forum would indicate that you agree with her.

I've posted basically nothing about Miller, by the way. It seems that you're the one who may be projecting here.

From what I've seen, you're the one who has difficulty with people who disagree with your ideology. The rest of us seem to get along just fine despite our political differences.

No, I don't get to decide who participates and I don't care for that task anyway. I can handle discussions with people who disagree with me.

As to the relation between the poster hiding behind the 'Metlakatla' moniker and the 'Captain Crunch' moniker, I don't know; but I can suspect you being one and the same. If you can give me some proof that you are not the same poster, then I will let it be.

You have a thread (which I stopped posting to) dealing with "CC, R.I.P." so I am curious as to the connection since you seem to have such a strong attachment. CC comes on here and makes very strong personal attacks. Kind of childish, but thats what comes with internet anonymity.

There are ways to clean up threads.

You have a serious anger issue with Sarah Palin

Nah, I have a serious concern that Palin's claw anywhere near the red button would be a detriment to the survival of humanity, and I think that she aspires to exactly that. It really is that simple.

Quite the contrary. Do you need proof that you hate Sarah Palin?

Again, please stop projecting your hatred of Sarah Palin onto me. I don't care what she said or will say, it does not necessarily reflect my viewpoint.

The "rest of us" meaning the small little group that seems to be incapable of reasonable discussion? That group is pretty small. Most of the posters do alright if the rhetoric is ratcheted down and no personal attacks are made.

Okay; point made. Is Sarah Palin the topic of this thread?

Oops, caught ya....

Why is it, in a thread discussing the differences between Joe Miller and Scott McAdams, you bring up Sarah Palin?

My suggestion is that you take your concerns up with the moderator of this forum; I think that Rance would be able to put your mind at rest concerning your delusions that CC and I are the same person. You might want to also take it up with a senior admin here since multiple accounts are against the TOS...be my guest.

As far as CC and I go, we've known each other for quite a few years--since 2003, I believe, and our connection predates either of our participation on this site. And if you'll look around this place a bit, you'll see that many of the regular posters here have met and have friendships outside of the realm of "internet anonymity".

You're free to ask around if you like....there are people here who've met him in real life, one or two who have met me. Beyond that....I really don't "owe" you any "proof" of anything.

I'm hardly the first one who has done so in these discussions; I think that is probably because Miller is highly endorsed by Palin.

I don't need "proof" of anything. I know how I feel about Palin. You may interpret consternation as "hatred", but that's really your issue.

Discuss the ideas, please; stop attacking the posters.

I wouldn't say that he never posts a personal attack, but what you quoted is specifically not even close to a personal attack! Just because he doesn't agree with you doesn't mean it is a personal attack. Goodness, he even pointed out that it is not up to him to cut your drivel off. And he has repeatedly cited specifically what it is you are saying that he does not agree with.
