thank gawd Brice isn't stooping to name-calling with his utterly inappropriate use of the derogatory term "liberal", eh? ;-)
Though "Idiot" is the first word that crosses my mind when shift-deleting most of Brice's posts, Wirt stands corrected by James who applies the far more accurate TROLL, making him another of your childish name-callers. From the jargon dictionary,
2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll."
So Idiot is available, Jim. Are you applying for the position?
