piano's Journal: I, too, have been Foed by Pudge because of my Politics

Here's what I said: "Many of us believe, Pudge, that you and those who hold your political opinions are not only incorrect, but dangerously neglegent. If that is true, then it is apparently correct to say that, while you may be a very skilled programmer and mathematician, you are not intelligent enough to agree with the correct, and more healthy (medically, economically, environmentally, globally) position." Emphasis added. Compare the passage, and note the deletion of the conditional, with what Pudge said he banned me for.

Pudge counters suggesting that he would rather not listen to people who are saying he is making a mistake. That is his decision.

I believe that allowing Pudge to take part in such poor reasoning reflects poorly on his company, his church, and his family. I do not fully understand his reasoning, but I believe it is based on contradictions that he allows himself to hold because they are more convieniently compatible with his political beliefs.

I read that Pudge's favored candidate, Bush, is also unwilling to debate to the extent that he used to advocate: the news is that there will only be two presidental debates, rather than the three already announced by the commission.

UPDATE: Contrary to what you might have read, I have comments enabled. I will not complain that posts are off-topic, and nobody will be banned from posting until the system archives these JEs.

And, for those of you who have read that Pudge thinks that I am the same person as js7a, he is a member of my family.
