:) I did know that I was responding to an ancient response... but I had thought that Caledonian may still be lurking about this site...
In a way my response was more to point out the problem with what he said - than to actually request a specific response from him. If somebody else came along later and happened to agree with Caledonian, they might point out evidence that would support his claim... thus I figured it was worth posting anyway.
We keep being told to comment regardless of how old the posts are... and this is why.
Nah - that's the wrong tack. I'm sure there are things where violence could be a positive response. But the claim made was that there are things for which the necessary response is violence... as though for certain situations, only violence will work.
Perhaps there are such situations.. but Caledonian did not even give examples, let alone evidence to support his claim... Thus my reaction.
I'd argue that there are vanishingly few situations in which the only possible solution is violence... but, as I stated, would welcome evidence/discussion to the contrary.
Actually, I think he got banned - if you look at his last comments, he certainly thought it likely that he was going to be.
Yeah - could be. I also read a comment from EY saying that it was specifically his vote keeping him unbanned.
I've read other comments from EY that seem to suggest that Caledonian was being kept around as a kind of troll-in-residence.... including one that seemed to indicate that EY used responses to Caledonian to determine whether or not he'd got his point across well enough :)
Interesting. I don't remember those, but I do remember several discussions where EY wanted to ban Caledonian and various other people talked him out of it.
