I agree with everyone who objects to continuing the Great Rubber Chicken Slap-out between Rich and myself. I have NO intension of answering him. It usually goes like this: Rich posts: (blah blah blah) Ken reposts: (sweetness and light) Not really! -: Rich:rereposts: (third grade rejoiners) Mostly. Sometimes the order is a little different but I try not to answer him when he goes into orbit. You may remember a while back I surrendered to him when he operated on himself without anesthesia (it was a brain removal). [Rich: PLEASE don't take this as an answer!!!] Hey guys, how's motss.mod doing??? (Since I'm not on it) Keep chargin' Ken Arndt

Such as: X posts: (statements and/or questions) Ken posts: (quotes from books that are supposed to lend credence to an opposing (his) point of view) Rich posts: What about this? (some line of reasoning showing the emptiness of Ken's quotes) Ken posts: (no responses to the questions raised or the reasoning offered, just more quotes or insults) I think that pretty much sums up Mr. Arndt's argumentative technique. Ken's openly evasive non-arguments should be labelled as such (by a government agency perhaps: WARNING! This article contains quotes from authorities but no reasoned thought whatsoever. The manipulation contained herein may damage your brain if you choose to actually believe any of it without first employing some thinking.) Since that sums it all up, I guess I'll desist from shining a spotlight on Ken's style. Hopefully, I've shown Ken for what he is. I'll leave it to him to show me for what I am. He probably has a quote from a psychiatric journal he reads. I wonder where he might reside that he has such ready access to these journals... -- "Come with me now to that secret place where the eyes of man have never set foot." Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
