Regret?

"I feel it necessary to point this out because, given Dissident's accusation of me, it is apparently fair game to impugn the motives of others on this board and poison the well as we deem necessary, a weapon I shall make frequent use of (though not without some sadness, not unlike a national leader forced to resort to nuclear weapons because he sees no other alternative if he is to stay on an even keel with his enemies--of course, in a genuine nuclear war there will be no one left to celebrate any tactical victory, and that is what's going to happen to our "movement" such as it is.)"

No you don't.

You write everything appearing with your name on it. So you don't get to play such games.

You may disagree with others' opinions and even their posting styles. But you don't get to state that you regret what you fully choose to post.

And you don't get to claim that you find something unfair to employ when you choose to employ it. Either do, or don't; but don't grandstand about how you're "better" than what you choose to do.

And you certainly don't get to simultaneously, employ, denounce and place blame elsewhere for what you choose to post. Nobody else chose your words for you or hit the post button.

You are the only one controlling your posts, even those you blame on others.
