Reply #119: You preach about shades of grey,

[Julien Sorel]

but grind the same ax in post after post after post, while accusing other people of things you yourself are guilty of. 'Intellectual dishonesty?' See the other thread. 'Shades of grey'? I don't see any in your posts. You make a perfunctory attack on Sharon as a pretense of balance, and then go back to grinding the same ax. You reel off empty rhetoric about 'romanticism,' but fail to address the correctness or incorrectness of my statement; I disagree with someone's mis-statement of historical record (easily checked, by the way, although you won't find it on honestreporting.com) therefore I must be 'romanticizing past and present Arab oppression of Jews???????' It sounds great, but it isn't an argument -- it's a personal attack devoid of facts. Someone else who disagrees with you must be 'ignorant of military affairs.' But you have demonstrated the gall to toss out the ad-hominem accusation.

I suppose that, as bearing the burden of being a reasonable person who is knowledgeable about military affairs, you are given exemption from normal expectations, like not being a hypocrite. Obviously, you think so.
