Not that I normally get in-between two differences of opinion....but I have to say, most of Nytimes posts stem from something most of us call a sense of humor. This concept is still foreign to some people...especially those with the SUTB syndrome.

Uh, huh. OK. At first i thought that.
I asked. I ignored. But after a while there was no humor. Since you're obviously not paying attention very closely here.....let me review for you........
He's been specifically attacking my posts for days, for dozens of pages.
Wow. Opening the thread this morning is like stepping into a time machine.
Thank you, vacationclub, for bringing us back into your neverending circular argument. Just remember: Repetition doesn't make you right. And snide comments don't prove your point.

Are you OK? Ain't got, or never had.....what? If you're going to inject yourself here, with nothing to add or comment on about FP, etc, at least explain what you're talking about with your personal attack.
I then ignore ...and continue with others....but he can't resist. After I interact with others he posts...
How would you rate you skills at "pretend" on a scale of 1 to 10?
I ignore again....
later that day..... he picks out one of my posts, and responds to it, except, confused, he loses track of who he's sniping at the moment, he mixes up attack lines...
Why bring it up at all if you don't want to answer questions about it?
Wait, I think I know the answer. You're being modest -- but you've given us plenty of clues. I'll say you're a solid 10 out of 10 at "pretend."
The post had nothing to do with mine, and was misdirected.....in fact another poster instantly responded...
Wrong fluke, I am the one not answering this question, not her.
I respond with a question about this...
Are you specifically quoting my posts, regardless of what I say or whom I'm responding to, to simply make random accusations and comments that have nothing to do with anything?
Can you in any way explain yourself?
He responds:
Who's making accusations?
I think everything in this thread has been pretty self-explanatory -- but why on earth would anyone need to respond to your demand that they explain themselves?
I apologize if much of this is beyond your grasp. Sometimes, it is difficult to know.
I ignore again...
Then, when someone responds to me...he chimes in with back handed insult....
You are making the mistake of making sense again.
as if to say I wasn't.
See, so far I'm not really seeing any humor.
More civil conversation ensues while he hides out in the corner....watching...not making any posts at all....until...he responds to someone else with another back handed comment about those that might disagree with them...
Only a lunatic would argue with that!
Ok, maybe slight humor...if you're making fun of someone.
Then, he picks out another one of my posts that he wasn't involved with. He hasn't posted to anyone for pages, but now he's back with...
Still trying to turn gibberish into analogy, I see. It's like the moon is made of stripper pasties, so Congress is trying to regulate it.
Nope. Still doesn't work. Unless this is more "pretend," in which case I applaud your effort.
later down the page....another jab at a post that he wasn't involved in...
More gibberish disguised as analogy, I see. Yes, this is exactly like Doc believing the world is flat. Excellent point.
Moments later, another post, that doesn't even make sense in the context of the conversation...
So only Tom Staggs, who you never heard of, is allowed to provide relevant data to the discussion?
This pretend stuff is crazy!
I never said anything about Tom Staggs being the only one allowed to provide data. It was, in fact, someone else who even brought him up.
Again, later...another post that he's not involved in...his jumps out of the woodwork again to respond...
You keep saying "we." Are you presuming to speak on behalf of everyone, or are there lots of people over there? Are some of them just voices?
Alternatively, I suggest you stop using "we" when referring to what YOU don't know.
Again, I'm ignoring all of this...but he persists...
How do you know what others know? You don't even know who Tom Staggs is.
Again, please speak only on behalf of yourself.
I was speaking on behalf of what others claimed they knew. If they knew more they weren't saying. But why bother explaining this to him...i'd just invite more trouble.
So I continue to ignore.
I asked someone else to share their "fair amount of evidence" that would make their case.
He couldn't help himself....
You either have it, or you ain't never had it. But you're not going to get it that way.
Then moments later...a dual snipe at both me and another poster...
What the heck are you smoking... and why won't you share???
After pages of talk of groupies and boogers, I respond to someone else....
He's right there on the attack....with his mildest response ever.
After several pages of intelligent talk about space lizards that he happily engages in, I respond to another poster about a fast pass discussion.
Instantly, he' right there within seconds....
Allow me to translate: I have no idea what I'm talking about. I admit it. But I'm going to keep talking anyway.
At that point...I decided to take
his bait......
The very large, days long in the water, bait.
He suddenly went "classy" at that point.
He's a piece of work.
I'm not sure a sense of humor what what was missing here....
