Damned by your own words, I'd say! It's clear to me that quite a few of you folks out there just aren't willing to apply your own tests for whatever to yourselves. I'm not sure whether or not it's because you KNOW you fail, or because you figure that the ends justify the means. <Then again, I can't see any ends, either, so that possiblity might be moot.> Move this d**k to net.flame. I feel more comfortable calling s**t by it's own name in there. [1] Mr. Renner was quoting Mark Twain there, I like Polli's comments on witty repartee.(sic) Perhaps he has decided for us that Mark Twain is neither witty nor ??? -- TEDDY BEARS ARE PEOPLE, TOO!

That's OK, as I am not really offended by Polli, just amused. Now, look at this latest contribution, and see if you can tell who Polli is really describing. "making up facts:" Me? Name one of them. I'll bet I can find a source. Now, look at Polli's articles. The first one claims that the US refuses to give away farm surplus food in order to keep domestic food prices high. Wrong. The second one claims that my proposal is like Stalin starving the peasants in Ukraine. Also wrong. "trying to insult people who disagree with you:" Don't make me laugh. This is the man who writes: "If you want to see an ugly American, Mr. Renner, just find a mirror." "I hope you don't profess to be a Christian, Mr. Renner. You are a disgrace to the human race." "not bothering to respond to the issues raised:" I have responded to every issue I could find in Polli's article. The issue-to-noise ratio was fairly low. If anyone thinks I've missed one, mail me and I'll respond to it too. On Polli's part, all he's done is repeat his claims that my ideas are abominable, immoral, and un-Christian. Oh well, enough. I'm going to post this in net.flame. If Mr. Polli will cooperate, we can transfer this little exchange over there, or perhaps conduct it privately through the mails. Or maybe we'll get real lucky and he will start sending to /dev/null. Scott Renner {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!renner
