  then do your own piece and cut your own tone.  you can't cut mine, but
  you might be very surprised, especially considering your personality,
  that some people don't go around with thoughts of revenge all the time
  and that hatred and malice have no part of _their_ personality, even
  though _you_ are filled to the brim with both.  if you don't annoy and
  harrass people, they don't react to you, either.  instead you, and Xah
  Lee, and this Larry dude recently, behave as if your thinking is you have
  a _right_ to annoy me in particular and think that the more you annoy me,
  the more right you get in doing whatever it was you were once critized
  for, that if you can somehow _prove_ I'm "bad" to people, as opposed to
  what I really am: really harsh on stupidity, you don't have to listen to
  the arguments I present that you have made some very serious mistakes
  that reflect badly on you.  that is not how things work, because such is
  the actual ad hominem argument, and you're the stupid jerks making it.
  you can _never_ invalidate the argument by going for the person, but you
  can make the _person_ change his ways if the person makes particular
  mistakes through sloppiness or carelessness which produces bad arguments,
  which means the argument may get improved if the person gets the point of
  the message "pull yourself together", but you guys are so confused about
  this and refuse to think, instead defending your intellectual sloppiness
  and going on a rampage with hostilities towards those who show you that
  you don't use your brain, and thereby you only prove you don't have any.

  stupidity is the result of not being required to think, or believing one
  can get away with not thinking.  I don't tolerate stupidity at all, but I
  actually believe that stupidity is worse, and reflects worse on people's
  personality, than malice, but the two combined, as in Janos Blazi, is too
  much.  note that stupidity has nothing to do with intelligence or lack
  thereof, it has to do with insufficient expenditure of mental effort as
  required by the task at hand.  intellectual laziness is the only sin.  I
  punish such sinners, and like any sinner who knows he is one and has no
  intention of changing his ways, Janos Blazi and his like-minded ilk need
  to defend themselves rather than stop sinning, which means they will use
  any evil means and unlimited malice to try to stop the criticism, apart
  from using their brains and realize that they _could_ just start to think
  and not post idiotic drivel that wastes everybody's time.  apparently, it
  is just too much to demand of Janos Blazi that he do that, and he has all
  the time in the world to attack me and vilify me and shower me with his
  idiotic malice, instead.  what more proof do I need of who Janos Blazi is?

  and now he complains about the tone.  he can fix his own.  it would help
  a lot, and I certainly wouldn't dream of speaking badly of someone who
  has stopped attacking me, but someone who keeps attacking me with a tone
  so malicious as Janos Blazi's and who is so demented as to complain about
  the tone of _others_, should have been taken care of by the mental health
  services and just be locked up.  the only way you could possibly have any
  credibility when you criticize something is to stay above it, and the
  more you stay above it, the more you show it possible to do without it.
  if you have to engage in the same thing you want others to stop in the
  belief that this will stop them, you're just an idiot who doesn't like
  _who_ uses a particular means.  so why prove you're an idiot when that is
  what the criticism was all about?  don't you morons realize that when I
  think you're idiots, you do nothing but prove my case with your behavior?
  what do you _think_ you could possibly accomplish with that?

  Janos Blazi, it is obvious by now that you are beyond reach, and you seem
  to be retarded or at least psychotic if not, which means there's no point
  in trying to reach you, either, but if you wish for a better tone in this
  newsgroup, you could do your part and stop attacking _me_ all the time.
  get an argument about _something_ for once -- don't obsess about people.
  it's your obsession with people that causes your problems with the fact
  that others are concerned about actions, principles, and ideas, because
  you can't see beyond people, but people are uninteresting except to their
  close ones.  and you're not close to me, if that needs stressing, so it's
  what you do and what you argue through your actions is true and good that
  is of my concern.  what you seem to argue is true and good is stupidity,
  the right to be intellectually lazy, the right to make false accusations
  and claims, the right to distort arguments and be ridiculously stupid in
  not understanding them, etc.  you're the champion of any idiot around who
  doesn't want to be told it's not OK to be an idiot.  we're going to have
  to disagree on that, to put it mildly, but you're not going to convince
  me it's OK to be an idiot the way you go about it.

  sigh, I don't seem to learn, either, talking sense to Janos Blazi.
