I'm actually a fan of his style in other fora...
and have agreed with him on many points. When there was a debate with Marlowe on the nature of "facts", although seemingly agreeing with Khasim, I was also pointing out that there is a lot of grey area in most areas of study, even in mathematics (how can you really have a "negative" number? or how many data points fall between 1 and 2? etc...). Let alone in World Politics.
I am not an expert in Politics and or World History. I am well read and have a good memory. That said... History is relative. If we both witness the same car crash on the same day, we may provide completely contrary descriptions of the event because of our perceptual filters, etc...
Well... You know all this stuff. I miss the old Brandioch/Khasim. His old style got tedious, but it was without the personal insults. This is a relatively new dimension to his "style" and (knowing that opinions are like buttholes) I don't really care for his new style. Especially how it has been directed at others in this fora. I have basically just jumped in when I thought things were getting out of hand.
Khasim - drop the Bill Pathetic stuff please. You obviously disagree with him politically and you should continue to do so :-), but the tact of name calling, questioning people's backgrounds, etc... is kid's stuff and not appropriate for someone of your perceived intellect. I am a long time fan of your Linux threads, and many of your other posts are classic. I'm personally mad at you for the post I read earlier in the "Germany" thread, but I'll get over that. Our last few exchanges have not been very productive, but there is always tomorrow...
