Except that Rootham appears on several threads as one of the most "prolific posters". But that is par for the course really, since attempts at silencing unwanted opinions, often has little to do with anything other sandbagging, regardless of the facts. For example, Jrootham, alone accounts for 12 or 13 posts on this 108 post thread here: Khadr's khangaroo khourt trial, khontinued , making for about 10% of the total. When Jrootham says "there are about 10 posts from the rest of us", one might be confused into thinking that when he says "the rest of us" he means only himself. Could it be that the East German judge's mark for East German athlete is suspect? [ 07 November 2008: Message edited by: Cueball ]

But of course you will ignore that in favour of prosecuting your own personal vendetta, and accuse me of ramping up the hostility for merely pointing out the essential hypocrisy of Rootham's statement.

I find many comfort foods are fattening and bad for my health. But they soothe the soul- that's why I like them.
Seeing you and your aggressivness is soothing because it is just so familar that is why it is so reassuring to see that nothing ever changes on babble.

Well of course you would find it to be more serious slander since it is directed at yourself. There is however an element of opinion, deduced from the arguement you made, which was the basis of the accusation, which I agree was over the top. On the other hand, no one has any basis whatsoever for being able to determine what political party that I BELONG too, based on the fact that I disagree with this that or the other position. I have disgareed with the articulated position of the NDP, based generally on the fact that they are to close to the Liberal position or the Conservative position. Such is a matter of the record. However, to take this position, and then convert that into an arguement that I must be a member of one of those other parties, simply by the fact that I articulate positions that do not correspond to those of the NDP are of course farcical, and entirely slanderous. But you seem to think its perfectly fine for you to take offence at percieved slander against you, and then dismiss my right to do the same. Convenient. Do you mind if I get to decide what slander I take offence too? [ 07 November 2008: Message edited by: Cueball ]

I think the capability of software for those forums is the difference. There are different coding techniques to allow for appending post after post int static arrays, vector arrays, linked lists, etc which then governs how those posts are accessed in storage, accessed and copied into server's memory, transformed into HTML code and shipped out to our browsers for dislaying. There are performance issues and costs for each method, and I'm not sure I prefer the extra mouse clicks to get to the last page of a humungous thread, and skimmimg past relevant comments, and then posting whatever it is I may wrongly believe is a new idea and contribution. I can just imagine babblers telling me, "Hey you just said what soandso said nine months ago in this same thread 25 pages ago, you idiot!!" And then I'd feel silly.
