Re: calls for censorship?

["Lewis A. Mettler" <lmettler@lamlaw.com>]

Cem,

A comment in context is not an ad homonym attack.

The term ad homonym attack is reserved for posts made specifically for
the purpose of the attack on that person rather than the idea.

I remind you I NEVER use the name of anyone in my posts.  I only comment
on the post in context.  Others may have adopted the practice if
bringing up the name of someone else in a new thread.  But, I for one,
do not do that.

As for the repetition, every post is in response to other points made.
It "takes two to tango" if you will.

When you suggest I should cease, what you are suggesting is that I
should stop replying.  If the prior comment was not there, neither would
be my reply, right?

I assume you simply do not want contrary views expressed and that is
your only beef.
