Glad you think so.

Go color.

No, he has his own ideas. The box 'leftist' doesn't apply,
that's just an arrogant and dismissive bit of language that
you could fling at stones or trees, with equal descriptive accuracy: none.

Basically, what Kevin was saying that I'd have to have married an Iranian atheist whose first husband was executed for the crime of having been a Muslim and becoming an atheist, before I'd know anything useful - a sublimely rational argument. Hard-line Muslim fundamentalists seem to be quite a brutal as their
Christian equivalents - Boston Puritans hanged a couple of Quakers for the crime of being Quakers around 1660.

Cursitor Doom imagines that persistent exposure to his silly ideas ought to persuade other people that they aren't silly.

This is just one more of his extensive collection of irrational delusions.

It has taken a while to really sink in the mind-set of Bill. One tries to
give some benefit of doubt, but there is truly no point in debating with
him.

For the most part, its always ad-hominem. His irrational ideology is pretty
much in the same vain as any religious fundamentalist. That is, no amount of
rational debate is useful to someone that is irrational.

Not that Kevin can actually debate anything. Assertion he can manage.

> For the most part, its always ad-hominem.

If you post something stupid, I'll point out that you are being stupid. It's difficult to avoid the ad-hominem aspect of this. An actual ad-hominem argument would work on the basis that your argument had to be stupid because you were making it, and I don't bother going in for that, but Kevin doesn't seem to be able to grasp the distinction.

> His irrational ideology is pretty much in the same vain as any religious fundamentalist. That is, no amount of rational debate is useful to someone that is irrational.

Kevin hasn't actually demonstrated that any of the ideas that I advance are irrational. He also hasn't identified the ideology he thinks I've espoused - there isn't one - so he's just going in for the kind of broad brush mud-slinging you can expect from people who cant be bothered to think things through.

He does seem to think that there's some leftist playbook from which I'm working - some kind of Protocols of the Elders of Leftism - but he can't provide a link to it because it doesn't exist.

and his books - particularly "Democratic Enlightenment: Philosophy, Revolution, and Human Rights 1750–1790" are interesting, but don't constitute any kind of ideology.
