Oh god. Kier jumping to his masters defense again. Kier, did you not see
Roy suggest violence? Did you not see him throw his toys out of the cot
and accuse people of "ad hominem" attacks. And yet its ok for him to do
that very same thing? Come off it.

The usual COLA defence : "prove it" - we could say "1+1=2" and someone

Because he's an obsessed nutcase.
Just because someone thinks that, say, having sex with an underage child
is "OK", it doesn't excuse them anything - it means they are the most
dangerous offenders . They are unable to distinguish from right & wrong.

He also tells lots of lies. Unknown to himself. But they are still lies
: if Roy say "Red is green" and he *believes* that, he is *STILL* lying.

God forbid.

Roy is as often wrong as right : it really isnt subjective to any but
the mopst airy fairy hippy. All "right & wrong" insociety is open to
some debate.

Which is why so many people have killfiled his nonsense.

eh? This is usenet. Roy frequently savages people who he (mistakenly)
labels "wintrolls".
