There is a market for this. People seem intent upon trying to change the subject from whatever it is to some variation of "Cary sucks." So they can now leave my threads alone and post here to their hearts' content.

You're a buddy. But really, I've been on the internet way too long and way too much. I don't take it that seriously and really, too, I'm mocking my detractors here.

Notice that they aren't taking me up. But when they pull their schtick I fully plan to redirect them here.

They are too busy with their expert prognostications on terrible Hillary and her terrible campaign.

I can only take this in short doses.

Sorry to hear it's happening.

DU always seems to (still) love a good pile-on.

No biggie.

I don't recall names well. I just post. But really I'm using this to redirect. Instead of going through the "stop changing the subject to me" spiel I'll just direct them here, because I'm lazy.

I had not read some of the projections and attacks toward you. Wow. A couple are really insulting and have nothing to do with your ops or comments. Well done outing them.

I am a professional advocate. We generally don't have our arguments this way because we are professionals and we do maintain civility, for the most part. Plus we are just better at debate. We just are. A lot of people will not like it when I say that but hey I do a lot more of it, over a 31 year career, than non-lawyers. Plus I have legal training. That means a lot, actually.

I am always looking to learn better ways to deal with tactics and the best way to deal with ad hominem, as far as I can tell, is to just what you suggest here: out them. So yes, that's what I'm trying to do as well as have a little fun at their expense. I'm honored, NCTraveler, that you get it.

for a reason. It, and a large number of the people who imagine they have license to suck there, sucks. I'm not happy to see this, and some of them, over here dragging this forum down.

Just kidding, but I don't ever recall seeing you around. Well, my posts have gone down over the last several years, and looking at DU at work on an iPhone it is difficult to see who is posting.

Not sure when it.was but it goes back to the early years, when this was a place I called home. 2002 or thereabouts.
