   *I have found them both to be reasonable posters as long as I have known them. Although I don't always agree with their opinions, they both seem mature and sincere when I read them. "Rhetoric" is a subjective term, and I think it is telling when one person acuses another of speaking rhetorically.

   *Tara,My advice to anyone new to this board is don't jump too quickly to conclusions about posters. Many times, I've reacted privately to certain posts, kept some words to myself, and found out later that it was a joke, or something was written out of context, or just overreacting on someone's part.Other times, I've been dead right, but still glad I didn't respond. But it takes years to uncover a "double-life" woodshedder...And it appears to have turned out that Doug Hubbard is NOT Luka, despite earlier suspicions. And Blue is NOT AJ either!MD

   *I think you just find it hard to believe there are two people that disagree with your ....'opinions'. There are a lot more than two.

   *At least all you people are being accused of being somebody else of the same sex. People think me and "TED" are the same person! (I wanna be Wolvie!)

   *Actually, I was guessing you're either Ron or Pete trying to create the illusion that there were people who agreed with you.

   *Maybe SHG has MPD and Bob Walker is his other self, would that count as different people or just confuse the issue?On another note, if you had MPD, wouldn't it piss you off when your other personality changed all your bookmarks, and put girly pics up as your desktop so you'd get in trouble when the SO turned on the 'puter.

   *I know, let's get AJ the hack to dig around a bit. Remember when he broke the passwords of several others and began posting under their name? He can do it.And Tara, what DO you do with yourself? You're here alot AND you watch TV. Don't you, like, work?

8. 
   Bob_Walker | Oct 10, 2001 07:26pm | #12

   *I suppose there's a chance you'll really tick SHG off (especially if you ask whether we look alike), but as for me, I can't think of a b higher compliment.Thank you.

   SandraM | Oct 10, 2001 07:51pm | #13

   *Don't you, like, work? Well, she sure doesn't proofread. Tara, you should at least run spellcheck on your tag line. It's "opinionated", not "opinonated" - unless my copy of the OED is as wrong as everybody else who disagrees with you...

    David_Doud | Oct 10, 2001 10:48pm | #14

    *I suppose if I should start writing clearly thought out posts of a well reasoned nature from an informed perspective in a calm voice offering persuasive arguments requiring higher order thinking you would confuse me with SHG also?

    *Bob, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we are the same person. Then they would be us. And the honor would be mine.This is Tara's way of chiding Bob for backing me up when I challenged Tara to do something completely new and different: Think. Nothing wrong with posting "highly opinionated rants" (though as a journalist, you should be a better speller when there are only 3 words to write), but you need to have a little more substance behind you. And to learn how to discuss without insulting people. It reflects poorly on you and poorly on the Navy. SHG

    *I don't know - 'restrained manner' perhaps - that's why I'll never be mistaken for SHG - I don't have the vocabrulariment of a NY lawyer - - it is proven to be big enough to be president tho -

    *After initiating some stealth internet technology I have discovered that except for the occasional lurker input, there are really only two regular posters.Further investigation has revealed that these two people has multiple personalities, their condition such, that each personality doesn't know of the others's existence excpet on this board.So they argue/agree with themselves.

Until his post on mathematical achievements in circular stairs,(which has disappeared, along with other stuff, for some unknown reason) I was SO convinced that aj/nanuke/one mt, et al. was really Ted Nugent, the WhackMaster himself....And how about a teeny little hint as to who's the double agent here?
