I don't want to fight with Bob but I also don't want to lose my mind doubting my own memory or my understanding of common English words. I want to get rid of the election posts. They are off-topic and causing trouble. The original reason, posted in the group by Bob, that Thorsten was told to stop with the election thing, is that he didn't know what he was talking about. The validity of this reason was questioned by several people. The next argument was that Thorsten was off-topic, and this was stated very emphatically. Now when I agree that Thorsten was off-topic, and attempt to use this to show that the subject is off-topic, I'm told that the real problem is that Thorsten was abusive. This is an attempt to side-step my argument about topicality. But it's not my argument, it's Bob's argument, repeated several times with emphasis. I feel frustrated by Bob's continued assertions that I am wrong whenever I say anything on this issue, even when I simply quote things that Bob himself has said repeatedly and with great emphasis. It is very difficult to have a discussion with someone when you can't even stipulate their most basic points without their attempting to debate them with you. A: The earth is round. B: No, it's flat. A: It's obviously round. B: Ok, assuming it's round, how about this ... A: Your point is false because you can't assume the earth is round. Wouldn't this drive *you* crazy? bruce
