It is nice of you to decide for me what I mean when I say something, like SMC who has consistently told me things about myself I didn't know. Do both of you know someone who hates me still? There is the spoken and the unspoken; there is the public and the PM.

I said it was made-up by me elsewhere in a defensive position, and you say it is deliberate and a fact.

1. My major infraction is an abrev. that I've explained.

2. The two posters I referred to that way are conservative libertarians.

3. I last referred to someone that way over a week ago (post #53 on this thread).

4. If I say it's one thing, then you dispute that strongly, what are you saying? My reason isn't possible or is a flat-out lie? Or is it something else? And you know this how?

What is your thinking on how I should be dealt with?

SMC:

You used the word again, but where was the before?

You said the abbrev. was a deliberate aggressive action: offensive in nature.

Then, I proved that point by saying it was defensive?

I will let AW9725 speak for himself. As for me, it seems I need to repeat something I wrote earlier to Talvenada in this thread: "For a guy who writes seriously as a vocation or avocation (the "national blog"), you don't seem to be a very careful reader of what others write."

Why do I repeat this? Because I never "said the abbrev. was a deliberate aggressive action: offensive in nature" -- something Talvenada attributes to me in his last post. A careful read of my posts will show that all I ever did with such words was to quote Talvenada saying that about his own use of language.

One can imagine what happens to my students who either miss stuff like that, or pull sophistic stunts like that, in their writing.
