No it didn't. All that simply happened is that you got to know me better. But I do like how you ignore all the times I took the liberals side on positions and just focus where I am on the right. Weed, gay marriage, abortion and immigration are some discussions where I am center or liberal.

I do try to be a good guy. But I am human and I don't always meet that goal. As for talking directly to people, I wish you'd do that more instead of attempting to talk down to everyone. That is my problem with you, not your positions.

one could argue that you're not a centrist on those issues. I think you're more of a right-leaning libertarian that thinks these particular issues should just be absent of government. You consistently support peeling back the State, which is a core right-wing position. And, it is my opinion that you've been wagging the right-wing dogma extra hard lately. It probably isn't a coincidence that this happened as you were given surveilling powers (limited as they may be).

And, PKM is on here trying to prove points all the time. Sometimes you have to evaluate a person's credibility before you consider the points they make. Are they really who they say they are?

His absence in this thread is ONE BIT OF EVIDENCE that it's dishonest for him to paint himself a centrist (an identity that he uses as a wedge in almost every politically charged conversation in which I've seen him participate).

So, again, you are basically saying that since he did not share his opinion with you that you obviously know what it is. Got it.

seriously, your powers of reason are remarkable. Where did I say what he is?

I'm saying he's not a centrist. He can be any number of things besides this. He can even be any number of those other things at the same time.

1 - I'm pretty sure you said what you think he is, a liar.

2- you rip on Stoked and his powers of reason, but don't even address what he said. Stoked mocked your knowing what PKM's opinion on something he never spoke about and you change it to "Where did I say what he is?"

1. That's about as strong and unkind a reading as you could take. I'm not surprised you've rushed in to take it.

There's ample room in my comments for the following scenario:
PKM to believe he is a centrist.
For PKM to articulate his positions with that identity in mind
For me to say, "no, this isn't the behavior of a centrist."

^actually, this is exactly my position. I don't think PKM is a liar. I just don't think he's a centrist, and I don't think it's fair or helpful for him to call himself one.

2. I answered this in my comments about conspicuous absence. Stoked swung and missed.

I can see why you would think that. But I can assure you it is coincidence.

If thinking you can better decide if you should marry a man, smoke weed, attend a private school, refuse your business to some... better than I, or society in general, can is right wing then so be it. But you have to give me points that at least I am consitent in it.

lol, if different people keep coming to you and saying the same things over and over, than maybe, just maybe there is a reason for it. This theme has repeated itself in numerous threads.

But you are entitled to your opinion. Even when they are largely panned by your audience.

now that I have your attention, I think you might also be interested to know that you also had ZERO comments in this thread (pre-bump). Curious, amiright?

Until you bumped this the final post was 12/06/11. I joined 12/13/11. Truly, truly curious.

Pretty straight forward. If you didn't mean something, don't say it.

Go ahead and neg me, I don't really care. Just make up your mind on what you think and stick with it. If you think he's a liar, own up to it.
It's like you don't really believe any of your schtick and forget what you said as you try to stir the pot and start arguments.

embarrassing really

I don't believe he is a liar. I never said he was. Sticking to that.

(^You're too old to backpeddle like this. It might be time for another sabbatical.)
