That (coupled with you challenging my feminism) justifies me calling you a pompous ass.
You use weasel words to claim you don't insult me personally then whine about my calling you out on it.
Now you are going to try to find even more clever ways of insulting me while claiming innocence. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. If I can percieve the insult so can others.
I tried an olive branch more than once but that is no longer an option between us. A truce is the best that can occur. If you stop insulting me, paraphrasing me, talking about me instead of to me, I will stop calling you names.
My posts are not generic name calling -- they are responses to your behaviour.
Saying I would have thought childcare would be at least equal to public transist in meriting a universal program from a self-identified feminist is fair comment. Many of the cost issues are the same (between transit and childcare). You were the one to raise transit as something that merited universality while childcare did not make the cut.
There is nothing generic about my name-calling. It is a description of your behavior.
I support universal childcare and said so in post 238 "I want free daycare for all but until we can meet that standard I want subsidized daycare going to those most in need." I never said that childcare did not make the cut. The NDP is not offering a universal daycare system either so we are comparing two non-universal programs.
Not accepting being challenged is central to your approach. So is your turning nasty when challenged. Logic has no currency. This is insulting to those who spend time thinking and responding.
That would be you. You turned nasty in 225 among other posts. All your talk about universality is moot because the NDP program isn't universal either which you refuse to acknowledge. Your entire focus is on dogging me not critiquing various daycare programs.
I did not reject challenge I explained my support for means-testing as a method of targeting daycare funding to those most in need based on no political party offering universality among other comments directly related to daycare.
Neither the NDP nor the Liberals are in a position to offer universal daycare because Harper has left the cupboard bare. That does not mean I don't support universal daycare. That is just the spin you want to put on it to give yourself another excuse to insult me.
There was no reason whatsoever to bring up the issue of whether or not I am a feminist. It has no bearing on the pros and cons of the proposed daycare systems and it is sad that childcare is still considered a feminist issue.
This last post (about universality) is an example. Any normal exchange with this style is impossible
Really which post was that. Your lecturing about universality isn't even pertinent as no one is offering a universal childcare program. Your posts 225 and 229 were all about insulting me and talking about me as though I am not even present. You must think people are stupid that they would fall for your lame excuse that you aren't attacking me, just making civil observations.
If I can tell I am being insulted other people can tell too so you aren't fooling anyone.
There is probably no more damage you could possibly do to yourself here. This is why you are able to name-call anyone who objects to your behaviour.
No, I am able to "name call" because I am telling the truth. If I were not you would have me banned in an instant.
I will say it again. Stop insulting me, paraphrasing me, talking about me instead of to me, and I will stop calling you names.
