5 I did. I don't see any ad hominem attacks. I was very careful not to
6 say anything nasty.

8 Even assuming I am a hypocrite - philosophically speaking, I am sure
9 we are all hypocrites to a certain extent, yes? - this doesn't give
10 any of us permission to behave in flagrantly nasty ways over and over
11 again and not be called on it. That's the fallacy in your argument.

13 At this point, I am going to separate myself from this conversation
14 and wait to see what action is taken, if any.

16 Really, I think you are mis-using your debating skills, as you were
17 clearly in the wrong, and what you said was indefensible, so you
18 should have just apologized.

20 I tend to get pulled into these things because a) I care about Gentoo
21 and b) I don't like to see people get away with crap over and over
22 again by using cheap debating tricks. But I will cut myself off from
23 this thread now.
