Nick.....seriously......you gotta let this thread DIE.



Heheheh! Matt, you haven't grasped that Nick *is* the [beaten, dead-] horse!



What is even more strange, is the unbelievable time-delay in Nick's
netherworld. Like Merlin, he keeps drifting backwards in time, and coming up
with new ad hominems to add to the old, which were never too few to begin with.
A very strange bird. Er, horse.


This last adventure-in-time was a real doozy.
Still, he's no match for Loius Blair when it comes to cut-and-paste hackjobs.
But OTOH, he is not quite as repetitive and therefore boring as Mr. Blair, and
Nick has the good sense to quote a wide variety of other writers, not just his
own, beaten-to-death words.


One of my "favorite" episodes was where Mr. Bourbaki -- *after* being
attacked for his one-sidedness on a certain issue -- proudly proclaimed that
he had "intended" all along to post another side to it, and then proceeded to
do just that. Not feeling satisfied with this last-minute defense, he then
went on to make a series of his famous cut-and-paste hackjob postings, in which
he dishonestly attempted to make it appear as if these events had occured in a
very different order, all as part-and-parcel of one of his trademark ad hominem
attacks, of course, not on this writer, but another one.
I suspect many are fooled by this sort of outright deceit, but as the saying
goes, you can't fool all of the people, all of the time.
