X-Message-Number: 21915 Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2003 18:28:56 +0900 (JST) From: "Matthew S. Malek" <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #21901 - #21913 Jerry: You say that "this is becoming tiresome" then proceed to deliver not one, but two tirades. You make it clear that you are fairly ignorant of all but a narrow sliver of political theory -- not even knowing what Libertarianism is while you claim to be one -- and refuse suggested reading materials that could remove such gaps in your knowledge. (Even as others on this list have contacted me privately to ask about further sources of information) You act with large amounts of disrespect towards other who believe differently than you do, even putting Libertarian in quotes to refer to Libertarians who are not members of the right-Libertarian party but coined the term a century earlier. You ascribe things to me that I have never said, such as my beliefs regarding nanotechnology and when it will become a mature technology. In short, you are being ignorant, close-minded, lazy, and disrespectful. I see no reason to engage in further discussion with you. I presume that at some point we will meet at the start of our second life, but I see no reason to associate further between now and then. Certainly I have not benefited any from this interaction. =>Matthew ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Matthew S.
