I am Paul Allen. I made the mistake of scrolling down one of your
top-postings and mistaking the attributions. That's easy to do when
people top-post and refuse to trim unnecessary material.
My apologies. You did not CALL me a content-nazi.

I have yet to see any response from anyone who saw any humour in it,
but I have read responses from people who did not find it funny,

You thought calling somebody a content-nazi was funny (although most
people would be shocked by an unjustified labelling of somebody as a
nazi). I thought calling you an idiot (justifiably so) was absolutely
hilarious (I try to write even my flames in an entertaining way) and
what is sauce for the goose is obviously sauce for the gander. If
humour is sufficient justification for you inaccurately labelling somebody
a nazi then humour is clearly sufficient justification for me accurately
labelling you an idiot.

Let's see. Which one of us posted first about top-posting? All those
with threading mailers (which you claim to have) will say it was you.
Who posted about top-posting being a bad idea? Well, several people,
but only AFTER you said it was a good idea. Looks to me like I was
talking about something that WAS said, after YOU said it.
> and attacking opinions that were never expressed to you.
You posted to the list. I read the list. If you don't want me to respond
to your opinion, don't post to the list. That's the only way you can
guarantee that anyone on the list will not respond to it.
> I didn't insult you, and I did respond to what you said. You're wasted
> hundreds of words attacking me for things THAT I DID NOT SAY.
Nope, I have posted about things you said and the implications of things
you said. If you don't want me to respond to your posts then the only way
you can do this is not to post at all. Well, there's another way which
is beyond your capabilities: post something sensible.
More clue suppositories... I get to control what I read, whether or not
I respond to it, and what I write in response. You get to control what
you read, whether or not you respond to it, and what you write in response.
You are perfectly free to put me in your killfile, should you so wish,
and thereby never again read what I write. Actually, some posts ago, you
claimed that you HAD put me in your killfile yet responded to later posts
by me.
I'd call you a liar, but that would only upset you. Hey, wait a minute!
Because you plonked me, you're not reading this and I can call you a
liar and your are unable to respond because you don't see anything I
post, LIAR.
> I'm not asking for you to be censored.
Bwahahahaha.

Even the idiots on alt.flame aren't so stupid as to contradict themselves
within the space of a single paragraph. You're not asking for me to be
censored, you're asking for the moderator to censor me if I post stuff
you don't like.
First rule of holes: when you're in one over your head, stop !"%$ing
digging.
